  • The English word "barbecue" and its cognates in other languages come from the Spanish word barbacoa.hans_glib
  • Etymologists believe this to be derived from barabicu found in the language of the Arawak people of the Caribbean and the Timucua people of Floridahans_glib
  • The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) traces the word to Hispaniola and translates it as a "framework of sticks set upon posts".[4]hans_glib
