WHAT DOES MATE MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Chimarrão

Chimarrão or mate is a characteristic beverage of the South American culture. It is a legacy of the indigenous Quechua, Aymara and Guarani cultures. It consists of a gourd, a pump, ground yerba mate and warm water. The term mate, as synonymous with chimarrão, is more commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries. The term "chimarrão" is the most adopted in Brazil, although it is a term derived from the Castilian word cimarrón, which in turn designates the domesticated cattle that returned to the state of wild life, and also the dog without owner, wild, that it feeds on animals it hunts. Chimarrão was forbidden in southern Brazil during the sixteenth century, being considered "herb of the devil" by the Jesuit priests of the reductions of the Guairá. From the seventeenth century, however, they changed their attitude toward drinking and began to encourage its use in order to alienate the local population from the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
