"kamote" meaning in Tagalog

See kamote in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /kaˈmote/ [Standard-Tagalog], [kɐˈmo.tɛ] [Standard-Tagalog] Forms: ᜃᜋᜓᜆᜒ [Baybayin]
Rhymes: -ote Etymology: Borrowed from Spanish camote (“sweet potato”), from Classical Nahuatl camohtli. Senses about performing badly is possibly an expression about students should instead plant potatoes, or a play on the word kamot (“scrach”), about scratching one's heads when unable to know what to do. However, some sources state that the senses already exist as part of Spanish slang to mean that way. See also Hokkien 大番薯 (tōa-han-chî), Cantonese 大番薯 (daai⁶ faan¹ syu⁴⁻²), Hakka 大番薯.

  "etymology_text": "Borrowed from Spanish camote (“sweet potato”), from Classical Nahuatl camohtli. Senses about performing badly is possibly an expression about students should instead plant potatoes, or a play on the word kamot (“scrach”), about scratching one's heads when unable to know what to do. However, some sources state that the senses already exist as part of Spanish slang to mean that way. See also Hokkien 大番薯 (tōa-han-chî), Cantonese 大番薯 (daai⁶ faan¹ syu⁴⁻²), Hakka 大番薯.",
