cocodrilo
/kokoˈdɾilo/ · B2 · noun · m
crocodile
🐊 sounds like coco + drill-oh: a coco-nut-eating drill-jawed beast
Etymology: from Latin crocodilus, from Greek krokodeilos, often explained as 'pebble-worm' (kroke + drilos). Spanish softened the first 'cr' into 'coc', giving cocodrilo. Note the repeated 'co-co' at the start, then 'drilo'.
