burrito

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Spanish burrito, diminutive of burro (“donkey”), from burrico (“donkey”), from Latin burricus (“small horse”), from burrus (“red-brown”), from Ancient Greek πυρρός (purrhós, “flame-colored”), from πῦρ (pûr, “fire”). The food is so called because of its resemblance to a rolled up pack as typically carried by donkeys, making it an example of synecdoche. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /bəˈɹiː.təʊ/, /bʊˈriːtəʊ/ (General American) IPA(key): /bəˈɹi.toʊ/ (Indic) IPA(key): /bəɾiʈo/, (approximation of original Spanish pronunciation) /bʊrːit̪o/ Rhymes: -iːtəʊ Hyphenation: bur‧ri‧to === Noun === burrito (plural burritos) A Mexican dish consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped around a filling of meat and/or beans, cheese etc. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === Verb === burrito (third-person singular simple present burritos, present participle burritoing, simple past and past participle burritoed) (slang) To wrap someone or something up like a burrito. === References === == Dutch == === Etymology === Borrowed from Spanish burrito. === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: bur‧ri‧to Rhymes: -itoː === Noun === burrito m (plural burrito's, diminutive burritootje n) burrito == Finnish == === Etymology === From Spanish burrito. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈburːito/, [ˈburːit̪o̞] Rhymes: -urːito Syllabification(key): bur‧ri‧to Hyphenation(key): bur‧ri‧to === Noun === burrito burrito ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “burrito”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 == Polish == === Alternative forms === burito === Etymology === Borrowed from Spanish burrito, diminutive of burro (“donkey”), from burrico (“donkey”), from Latin burricus (“small horse”), from burrus (“red-brown”), from Ancient Greek πυρρός (purrhós, “flame-colored”), from πῦρ (pûr, “fire”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /burˈri.tɔ/ Rhymes: -itɔ Syllabification: bur‧ri‧to === Noun === burrito n (indeclinable) burrito === Further reading === burrito in Polish dictionaries at PWN == Portuguese == === Pronunciation === Rhymes: -itu Hyphenation: bur‧ri‧to === Etymology 1 === From burro +‎ -ito. ==== Noun ==== burrito m (plural burritos) diminutive of burro (“donkey”) Synonym: burrinho === Etymology 2 === Borrowed from Spanish burrito. ==== Noun ==== burrito m (plural burritos) burrito (Mexican dish) Aloysia polystachya === Further reading === “burrito”, in Dicionário Aulete Digital (in Portuguese), Rio de Janeiro: Lexikon Editora Digital, 2008–2026 “burrito”, in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), Lisbon: Priberam, 2008–2026 == Spanish == === Etymology === From burro +‎ -ito. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /buˈrito/ [buˈri.t̪o] Rhymes: -ito Syllabification: bu‧rri‧to === Noun === burrito m (plural burritos) diminutive of burro (“donkey”) burrito Aloysia polystachya Any of certain crakes ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Belizean Creole: boreeto → Dutch: burrito → English: burrito → German: Burrito === Further reading === “burrito”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025
