I googled it in about a minute. I figured that pavita was based on the original pava, which is a wide-brimmed hat, and when I found a site talking about a guy who took naps under his desk at work, I googled "una pava" + nap and found confirmation.

I don't know much Puerto Rican, so I have to find it.

Did you know that expression, or you've found it in the dictionary. What dictionary did you say you use, by the way'
