The terra coco or co eoi by which the nuts nre known Is said by severs! authorities to be of Portuguese origin, and the derivation Is quite out of the ordinary. Accord ing to Rauhln. MHM or coiinhen Is de rived from the three holes at the end of the nut. giving It the resemblance of n species of monkey. Another writ er, Pi. .1 would h.'ive ns believe the name Is due to the sound emitted when ii Ir Is blown Into one of the holes of the nut, It being likened unto the voice of an ape. The Portuguese for monkey Is macaco or macoco. Per haps the best explanation offered Is that "coco" means a grin or grimace, for the three eyes of the nut certainly convey the Impression of a hideous laugh. For the unnecessary "" the lilmne has been Inld on the head of a careless proofreader, who allowed the name In Its present form to creep Into Johnson's dl'tloimry, although the learned doctor had used the correct IR'HIng.
