/ˈkwesko/

noun, masculine/ˈkwesko/plural: cuescos

stone (of fruit); raspberry tart; toot (flatulence)

Of uncertain origin; possibly a Mediterranean loan of sound-symbolic origin (or imitative of hitting a hard object), and cognate with Ancient Greek κόκκος (kókkos, “kernel”), though this is rejected by Furnee. Compare Asturian cuezcu.
