araguato
English
Etymology
From or cognate to French araguate (whence the rare older English spelling araguate), from a native name. The Century Dictionary suggests a possible relation to guariba and/or araba (an obsolete word for a howler monkey of the genus Mycetes). On the other hand, Merriam-Webster attributes it to Cariban.
Noun
araguato (plural araguatos)
- A South American monkey, the ursine howler (Lua error in Module:taxlink at line 68: Parameter "noshow" is not used by this template.).
