Meaning & usage

noun
  1. Any of several South American howler monkeys with prehensile tails.

Where this word comes from

Borrowed from Brazilian Portuguese guariba, from Old Tupi gûariba. Other early European spellings/renderings of the same Tupian word include guariva, guariha, uariba, waariba, and in French ouarive/ouariue (which was misread as ouarine, giving rise to that word and, by anglicization of it, to warine). The Century Dictionary suggests a possible relation to araguato and/or araba (an obsolete word for a howler monkey of the genus Mycetes); the New English Dictionary directs readers to compare alouatte and araguato.
