"lechuza" meaning in Spanish

Noun

IPA: /leˈt͡ʃuθa/ [Spain], [leˈt͡ʃu.θa] [Spain], /leˈt͡ʃusa/ [Latin-America, Philippines], [leˈt͡ʃu.sa] [Latin-America, Philippines] Forms: lechuzas [plural]
Rhymes: -uθa, -usa Etymology: From Old Spanish nechuza, influenced by leche (“milk”) due to a popular belief that owls “breastfeed” human infants at night. Coromines supposes that Old Spanish nechuza developed via vowel dissimilation from an older *nochuza, a derivative of an also-unattested *nochua (as gentuza < gente), and that inherited from Latin noctua (“owl”).
