"cachorro" meaning in Spanish

See cachorro in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kaˈt͡ʃoro/, [kaˈt͡ʃo.ro] Forms: cachorros [plural], cachorra [feminine], cachorras [feminine, plural]
Rhymes: -oro Etymology: Uncertain. Likely inherited from Vulgar Latin *cattulus, from Latin catŭlus (“whelp, puppy”), plus the suffix -orro; whence also Portuguese cachorro. If so, a doublet of cacho (“chub”). An alternative link to Basque txakur, xakur (“puppy”) has been proposed, but it is often dismissed as speculative.
