melón
/meˈlon/ · B2 · noun · m
melon
🍈 melón = mel (honey) + ón (big): a big honey-sweet fruit
From Latin melo, from Greek mēlopepōn, 'apple-melon'. The Spanish root mel- links to honey (miel), and -ón is an augmentative suffix meaning big. So melón is literally a big sweet one. The slang senses, breasts and 'can of worms', come from its round shape and messy contents.
