Definition
A cook or chef, especially in Spanish or Latin American cuisine.
Etymology
From Spanish 'cocinero' (from 'cocina' meaning kitchen, from Latin 'coquina'). A Spanish loanword that entered English in culinary contexts when Latin American food cultures became more prominent in English-speaking regions.
Kelly Says
Cusinero entered English not through colonial conquest but through food—we borrowed the word along with the tacos and mole, showing how cuisine is one of language's most delicious import channels.
