hongo
/ˈonɡo/ · B2 · noun · m
fungus
🍄🎩 hongo sounds like fungo, a Spanish cousin of fungus (Latin fungus)
Etymology: Latin fungus became Old Spanish fongo, then hongo, because Spanish often turned a starting f into h (as in facere to hacer). The bowler hat is called a hongo because its round dome is shaped like a mushroom cap.
