macho
/ˈmat͡ʃo/ · B1 · adj
dude
🐂💪 Same word as English macho; both come from Latin masculus, meaning male
English borrowed macho from Spanish, so you already know it. In Spanish it is the everyday word for the male of any animal or plant, as in un gato macho, a male cat. The tough-guy sense English uses grew out of that basic meaning.
