ORIGIN OF CHAMAQUITO
The term “chamaquito” derives from the word “chamaco” which comes from the Nahuatl word chamahua. This word is synonymous with maturing, growing or becoming a man. For this reason, its most used meaning in the Spanish language is of a boy or a girl who is in the process of maturing.
Nahuatl is a Mexica language, that is, a pre-Hispanic language. But, even so, this language is still spoken by a large number of people in Mexico. From this come words such as avocado, chocolate, pampering and many others that have been adopted by the Spanish.
