zopilote

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Spanish zopilote, from Classical Nahuatl tzopīlōtl.

noun zopilotes

A New World vulture of the family Cathartidae, especially the black vulture (Coragyps atratus). I was laying absolutely still in the cab of the wrecked truck —I had the crazy idea that if I did not move, I would bleed less—and I looked out of the hole where the windshield had been and saw a zopilote perched on the hood of the truck.
