WHAT DOES AGUARDIENTE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

aguardiente

Aguardiente

Aguardiente aɣwarˈðjente (help·info) Basque: pattar, Catalan: aiguardent, Galician: augardente, Portuguese: aguardente ) is a generic term for alcoholic beverages that contain between 29% and 60% alcohol by volume. The word is a compound word that combines the words in Latin-based languages for "water" (agua in Spanish; aigua in Catalan; água in Portuguese; auga in Galician) and "fiery" (ardiente in Spanish; ardent in Catalan; ardente in Portuguese and Galician). A similar English-based term is the slang "firewater". Both aguardiente and brandy—from the Dutch expression for "burnt (i.e., distilled) wine"—originated as terms for distilled spirits using whatever ingredients were available locally.
