narizón

== Spanish == === Etymology === From nariz +‎ -ón. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /naɾiˈθon/ [na.ɾiˈθõn] (Equatorial Guinea, Spain) IPA(key): /naɾiˈson/ [na.ɾiˈsõn] (Latin America, Philippines) Rhymes: -on Syllabification: na‧ri‧zón === Adjective === narizón (feminine narizona, masculine plural narizones, feminine plural narizonas) having a large nose Synonyms: narigón, narigudo ==== Usage notes ==== Because of phonetic similarity between the feminine singular form and Arizona (when preceded by a word ending with /n/), this second is used sometimes in Mexico to "disguise" the adjective, in phrases like nació en Arizona (“((s)he) was born in Arizona”) or nacido en Arizona (“born in Arizona”) to mean "that person has a big nose". === Further reading === “narizón”, 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
