Subject: LL-L "Etymology" 2009.08.23 (02) [EN]<br><br>Elsa asked: “My question is is this a new SPANISH word based on the ENGLISH pronounciation?”<br><br>To me the word “banano” means the tree on which bananas grow. But, I just checked </font><a href="http://www.wordreference.com/"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">www.wordreference.com</font></a><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> (a source that I use a lot for translating) and it does mean banana tree, but it also means banana in Central America and Colombia.<br>
