Meaning of sínsoras by furoya





furoya

sínsoras
  39

Although it must exist in the singular, the truth is that sínsora is not used. For Puerto Ricans it names "a distant, unknown place, without references"; and its etymology is still dubious, but the most popular says that it is a Puerto Rican adaptation for the ancient expression "the [strange] insulas" used by the Spanish expeditionaries to refer to those new lands explored in the sixteenth century, which for Europeans were distant and mysterious.
