guariba

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Brazilian Portuguese guariba, from Old Tupi gûariba. Other early European spellings/renderings of the same Tupian word include guariva, guariha, uariba, waariba, and in French ouarive/ouariue (which was misread as ouarine, giving rise to that word and, by anglicization of it, to warine). The Century Dictionary suggests a possible relation to araguato and/or araba (an obsolete word for a howler monkey of the genus Mycetes); the New English Dictionary directs readers to compare alouatte and araguato. === Noun === guariba (plural guaribas) Any of several South American howler monkeys with prehensile tails. ==== Related terms ==== ouarine, warine === References === == Portuguese == === Alternative forms === guariva === Etymology === Borrowed from Old Tupi gûariba. === Pronunciation === Rhymes: -ibɐ Hyphenation: gua‧ri‧ba === Noun === guariba m (plural guaribas) (Brazil) howler monkey (any monkey in the genus Alouatta) Synonyms: bugio, barbado, macaco-uivador ==== Descendants ==== → English: guariba → French: ouarine→ English: ouarine→ English: warine === References === === Further reading === “guariba”, in Dicionário Aulete Digital (in Portuguese), Rio de Janeiro: Lexikon Editora Digital, 2008–2026 “guariba”, in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), Lisbon: Priberam, 2008–2026
