Meaning and background
The story behind Soco
Soco has several unrelated dictionary associations. In Portuguese, Priberam distinguishes a wooden-soled shoe and column base from a punch and a separate word for an Arab market. ASALE records regional Spanish senses including fast in southwestern Colombia and panting breath in Guatemala and El Salvador. Those uses belong to distinct contexts. For a dog called Soco, the language and owner's intention matter; no single dictionary sense establishes the pet name's origin.
