pollo
/ˈpoʝo/ · A2 · adj
chicken
🐔🍗 pollo: from Latin pullus, young animal, same root as English poultry
Latin pullus (young animal) gave Spanish pollo and, via French, English poultry and pullet. A young chicken is a beginner at life, so pollo also means inexperienced, like calling someone a spring chicken. Montar un pollo = to make a scene.
