musikero

Tagalog

Etymology

From Philippine Spanish musiquero, from música +‎ -ero, with shift in meaning due to Spanish -ero being reinterpreted as the doer suffix. The term musiquero usually does not refer to musicians but refers to music cabinet for storing sheet music and music books. The usual term equivalent to the modern sense is Spanish músico. By surface analysis, musika +‎ -ero. See also musiko.
