tonto
/ˈtonto/ · A1 · adj
stupid
🤡 Tonto sounds like dunce-o: a ton-to of nonsense, zero sense
Say it aloud: TON-to. A fool carries a ton of silliness and adds a to on top. As an adjective it matches gender: tonto / tonta. As a noun, un tonto is a fool. The repeated dull o-sounds thud like a dunce's answer.
