Meaning of tenazonas




Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez

tenazonas
  5

Plural of tenazona . It means that it has large tongs. It is another way of calling a class of ants that is characterized by having large pincers. In Colombia we also call them cachonas. They are poisonous. Its bite is painful. Other names they are given are fire ants, red fire ants, fire ants. They belong to the genus Solenopsis and there are more than two hundred different species.

  




furoya

It's a plural, but I'm not sure what. Perhaps it's because of the augmentative of pincer ("tweezer-like tool"), or because of some feminine version of tenazón ("quick, improvised, and untidy act") used as an adjective, or because of a feminine augmentative of the tenacious adjective ("firm, resilient").

  


Pedro Murillo

They are literally very large tongs.
