Where it comes from
From the Mexican Spanish Tucsón, from the O'odham Cuk Ṣon (literally “[at the base of the] black mountain”) [tʃʊk ʂɔːn], referring to Sentinel Peak (colloquially known as '"A" Mountain') visible in the west of Tucson’s downtown area.
proper noun
- A city, the county seat of Pima County, Arizona, in the southwestern United States. Only a few years ago, Tuesday’s announcement that a glove believed to be connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, had no match in a DNA database would have been a dead end. Now for investigators, it is just the beginning.
