tadam

Noun

 * 1) fishing hook

Interjection
!


 * 1) ta-da! shazaam!

Etymology
, referring to the fruit of the forbidden tree in paradise. Compare the same in archaic 🇨🇬, whence Austrian and equivalent forms in several eastern European languages. The phonetic similarity with, 🇨🇬 is probably coincidental. The Maltese might of course be a folk-etymological alteration of the Spanish word, but the clearly unrelated forms in other languages make this seem less likely. Compare also 🇨🇬, archaic.

Noun

 * 1) tomato, tomatoes several fruits; tomato as a mass, taste, species
