Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish machaca.

Etymology: < Mexican Spanish machaca (compare Castilian Spanish use in sense ‘pounder, crusher’) < Spanish machacar to pound, to crush (1605; earlier as machucar (1251)), perhaps originally a Mozarabic form ultimately < the same base as French massue (see masuel n.); compare Spanish macho large hammer for forging iron (1490), perhaps a Mozarabic variant of mazo (1220–50), a masculine form of maza mallet (see mace n.²).The past participle of machacar is used in carne machacada and also to form a noun machacado; both of these occur earlier in English contexts in the same sense as machaca:1944 E.
