Rfv-sense "cave, old Taino word from Puerto Rico". Ultimateria (talk) 06:51, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Some leads:
A book[1] gives a different meaning from Puerto Rico:
Guácara ... for Puerto Rico the only meaning given (termed 'rare') is campesino, but it appears likely that the guácara of the saying also refers to the long-outmoded article of clothing.
A snippet[2] has
Las Guácaras son cuatro grutas existentes en la Loma Sierra Priete. Guácara viene de la voz nahua "auazcara" que se traduce "mansión santa".
So there is a connection to a cave. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 19:19, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
