pajarito
/paxaˈɾito/ · B2 · noun · m
bow tie
🎀 pajarito = pájaro (bird) + -ito (little): a little bird, shaped like a bowtie
Pájaro means bird and -ito is a diminutive, so pajarito is literally little bird. The bowtie sense comes from the wings-spread shape of the knot. The slang and packsaddle meanings are also figurative extensions of the same word.
