botillo

/boˈtiʝo/

noun, masculine/boˈtiʝo/plural: botillos

a cured meat dish, made from bits of pig meat stuffed inside a pig's cecum

Synonyms: botillo del Bierzo

Borrowed from Asturian botiellu, from Latin botellus. For the unexpected retention of Latin /-t-/, Coromines & Pascual propose influence from botija (“vessel”) and other such words. Cognate with Asturian botiellu, Galician botelo and Portuguese butelo.
