violín
/bjoˈlin/ · B2 · noun · m
violin
🎻 violín = viola's little cousin, the 'vio-' string family; sounds like 'vee-oh-LEEN'
Violín comes from Italian violino, a diminutive of viola, so it literally means 'small viola'. English 'violin' and 'fiddle' share this root, and the Spanish word keeps the same 'vio-' start. The slang sense 'bad underarm odor' is a separate colloquial use.
