pericose

Question

I would like to know if the word 'pericose' is at all Spanish. It is not in my dictionary, though it is close to "perico' (parakete) & 'perico entre ellas' (slang for lady's man).

Answer 1

OK, thanks Heidita!

Answer 2

Sorry, not over here. Wait for tonight, somebody might have an idea.

Answer 3

Wow, that's morbid for a dating name! Esperanzo que no! Any other ideas'

Answer 4

it could be

peri cose: something like"dying things"

perire: die
cosa : thing

Answer 5

Hi Heidita. Unfortunately, that's difficult. It is someone's chosen name on a dating site. She is a Spanish teacher, so I was hoping. It sounds Italian, so I found an Italian dictionary online that had a cognate 'percuotere' which means to smite, so that seems weird!

Answer 6

Hi shep, no idea. Can you give some context? Where have you seen this word'
