Etymology 1
[edit]Borrowed from Latin platanus (“plane tree”), from Ancient Greek πλάτανος (plátanos).
Noun
[edit]plátano m (plural plátanos)
- (Peru, Chile, Mexico, Spain) banana (fruit)
- plantain (the plant and fruit related to banana, not the Plantago genus)
- Synonyms: llantén, plátano macho
Usage notes
[edit]- Though all are botanically the same, often banana and guineo are used specifically for sweet varieties eaten as fruit, whereas plátano is reserved for the starchy varieties (plantains) cooked and eaten more like a vegetable.
- In Mexico however, plátano is used for both, but plantains are qualified as plátano macho. There are also many named varieties, such as the sweet banana plátano manzana (“apple banana”), the plátano dominico, the plátano tabasco, and the plantain called plátano burro.
- In Spain, plátano refers to both banana and plantain, so banana may refer to banana when differentiating from plantain.
