Definitions

  1. Folded tortilla filled with food such as beans, meat, or rice.

Word origin

Borrowed from Spanish burrito, diminutive of burro (“donkey”), from burrico (“donkey”), from Latin burricus (“small horse”), from burrus (“red-brown”), from Ancient Greek πυρρός (purrhós, “flame-colored”), from πῦρ (pûr, “fire”). A possible origin is due to its resemblance to a rolled up pack as typically carried by donkeys, making it an example of synecdoche.

Used in a sentence

  • “You're stealing the blankets,” Zack complained, tugging at the duvet that, somehow, Aaron had completely burritoed himself in.
