GUANO
What guano means
The droppings of seabirds or bats, historically collected and used as a valuable fertilizer rich in nitrogen and other nutrients.
Where the word comes from
Guano comes from the Quechua word *wanu*, the language of the Inca people of South America. The Spanish conquistadors encountered vast deposits of bird and bat droppings along the Peruvian coast and adopted the native term. English borrowed the word from Spanish in the early 1600s as European farmers recognized its value as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer.
