menudo
/meˈnudo/ · A2 · adj
what
🍲 menudo = minute (tiny) + -o; same Latin root minutus as menu and minute
From Latin minutus, small, the root of English minute and diminish. Small bits of tripe gave the soup its name. As an exclamation it flips ironically: menudo lío means what a mess, like saying a fine little problem for a huge one.
