🧍♀️🪑 regazo = re- + gazo: sounds like 'reggae-so' — a cozy seat to relax on
Sounds like 'reggae-so': reggae is relaxed music, and a lap is the relaxed spot where a child or cat settles. Etymology: regazo comes from regazar, 'to gather up the skirt', since the skirt gathered across the seated legs forms the lap.
