  • 60 jicara

    ( jícara [xíkara] < Nahuatl xicalli 'cup made from a gourd')
       Clark: 1900s. Usually a vase or bowl, but Watts notes that it can also refer to tightly woven containers made and used by Apache Indians. Carlisle defines it as "a drinking cup made by cutting a gourd in half." Santamaría defines jícara as the fruit of the jícaro or calabash tree. It is a hard, solid fruit whose flesh and seeds are similar to those of a squash. He also notes that the term is also applied to a wide-mouthed hemispherical vessel made from the jícara fruit. It is generally painted with many colors, polished and engraved, and often blackened with smoke. By extension, the term is also used in Mexico to refer to any vessel primarily used for drinking hot chocolate. The DRAE concurs and adds that in Spain jícara often refers to an earthenware vessel used for drinking hot chocolate. Cobos glosses it as a chocolate mug or a cup made from cutting a gourd shell in half.
