serape

Die woord "serape" verwys na 'n tipe kleurvolle en dikwels gestreepte, reghoekige kombers of tjalie, tipies gemaak van wol. Serapes word algemeen gedra as 'n tradisionele kledingstuk in Latyns-Amerikaanse lande, veral Mexiko. Hulle word oor die skouers gedrapeer of om die liggaam gedraai vir warmte en kan in baie streke as 'n kulturele simbool gesien word. Die term "serape" het ontstaan uit die Spaanse woord "zarape", wat op sy beurt van die Nahuatl-woord "sahuarē" gekom het.
