Origin
Borrowed from Spanish burrito, diminutive of burro (“donkey”), from burrico (“donkey”), frBorrowed 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”).
