Meaning and background
The story behind Pelusa
Pelusa is a Spanish word connected with fine, soft material. The RAE and ASALE dictionary includes the fuzz on fruit, lint shed by fabrics and the fine down on a chick or a person's face. It also records other colloquial and regional senses, so “fluff” is an association rather than the whole definition. For a dog name, the texture image is directly supported by the word entry without turning it into a claim about ancient personal-name origins.
