Muzo
Etymology
Compare Quechua raqacha, racacha and Ayomán aricachi. Perhaps from Quechua raqacha, racacha, though it is unclear if that word spread "during and after Inca conquest, or in archaic times, when arracacha spread across the Andes", and "Patiño (1964) presents some linguistic evidence for arocueche being an autochthonous Muzo word and considers it unlikely to have been merely a late deformation of racacha."[1]
Noun
arocueche
- arracacha
