The article says that "piragua" comes from a combination of "piramide" (pyramid) plus "agua" (water), referring to the shape of the icy treat. In fact, "piragua" is a common Spanish word that means "dugout canoe", and this could also refer to the pointy, rounded-tip shape of the treat. The origin of the word "piragua" as given in the article is clearly "folk etymology" and wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:28BE:9B00:1D80:9FA7:8C65:3111 (talk) 02:46, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but "folk etymology" is your own personal opinion. This is a well written and referenced article. What I mean by "referenced" is that it is based on reliable verifiable sources. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:36, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
