It means 'old clothes' but was originally a dish in the Canary Islands. It was a stew with left over meat, later potatoes and chick peas were added. However, I remembering visiting Cuba and our tour guide who was English but had lived in Spain explained while it was made with left overs in Cuba they used beef and added sauce. It was available everywhere in Cuba.
I suspect it is a stew made from what is available and the ingredients vary depending which country you live in.
