cascabel
- /ˈkæskəbɛl/ US, UK
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Spanish cascabel (“bell, rattle”).
noun cascabels
-
A small, round, hot variety of chili pepper, Capsicum annuum, which rattles when dry.
The very pungent Mexican Cascabel looks a lot like the Cherry pepper when it is growing.[…]In the dry state the skin becomes translucent and the seeds are loose so that they rattle, hence cascabel, which means sleigh or jingle bells. Another cultivar, the elongate Catarina, is often called Cascabel
Similar: chile bola, bola chile, rattle chile, coban
- A knob at the end of a cannon, cast onto the gun breech, to which a heavy rope is attached in order to control recoil. The cascabel, instead of being permanently attached to the breech of the piece, is set into it by means of a screw, and thus in reality the bore extends the entire distance of the gun, so that when the cascabel is taken off one can look directly through the gun.
-
A bell attached to a sleigh or sleigh harness.
Similar: jingle bell
