varonil
manly


Etymology
The Spanish adjective 'varonil' meaning 'manly' or 'masculine' comes from combining two elements: the Spanish noun 'varón' (meaning 'man') and the adjective suffix '-il'. The noun 'varón' itself derives from Latin 'varo', which meant 'strong or brave man'. The suffix '-il' is commonly used in Spanish to form adjectives that indicate a characteristic or quality related to the base word.
