gándara

== Galician == === Alternative forms === gandra, granda === Etymology === 13th century. Already attested in local Medieval Latin as gandara and gandera; from Paleo-Hispanic. While some authors have proposed an Iberian origin, this is unlikely, since Iberian was spoken in the Mediterranean coast, and this word is documented mostly in the NW of the Iberian peninsula; related to Alemannic German Gand (“scree”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈɡandɐɾɐ] === Noun === gándara f (plural gándaras) type of unproductive or little productive wetland, of alluvial origin, rich in gravel and sand 1296, Miguel Romaní Martínez (ed.), La colección diplomática de Santa María de Oseira (1025-1310).
