zurrón

Speculated to be from Paleo-Hispanic by comparison to Basque zorro (“sack”). Cognate with Asturian zurrón, Catalan sarró, Galician zurrón, Mirandese çurron, and Occitan sarroû, Portuguese surrão. According to Corriente and co-authors from Arabic صُرَّة (ṣurra) +‎ -ón, the Occitano-Romance vocalization must be due to contamination.
