coco — coconut

🥥 coco = the first half of coconut, which English took from Spanish/Portuguese

Etymology: in Portuguese, coco meant a grinning bogeyman, because the nut's three dark holes resemble a face. In slang, coco can also mean head, testicle (usually in the plural, cocos), or US dollars in some regions.
