excelsior
  60

It is not Spanish but Latin, is pronounced skélsior, means "superior" and translates as excellent (closer to the original 'excelsus'). There is a Castilianization as an exélsior, but I have the impression that it was popularized from trademarks. As a curiosity, in English it is a way to call the chip precisely by the company that marketed it to fill packaging.

vegetariano
  54

Supporter of vegetarianism, which does not eat any food that comes from animal suffering. It is the Spanish version of vegetarian English, and although its etymology seems to come from "vegetal" as a plant, the Latin origin goes a little deeper as vegere is a verb relative to growth, to healthy development. See veganism, vigorousy, ortorexia, frugal.

  
multifacético
  49

It has many facets or faces. It is a voice little used outside of Latin America, perhaps influence of American English. However, it is tighter than its almost multifaceted synonym, which blends Greek with Latin. Multifaceted is of Latin origin : multus ( "many" ) the French facet ( facet "carita; that we adopt as a facet" ) that does come from the Latin facies, ei (fakies , fakei "face , face" ) .

catanga
  53

It was a derogatory way of calling the slave in the 19th century, which was later left to his descendants of African origin. Originally it was the Castilianization of the Quechua name for the hairy beetle, a black shell that pushed or loaded clay balls or excrement to make its nest (and it seemed that it was doing heavy work, like slaves). It is composed of the voices aka ( "poop") tankay ( "push" ) .

empedar
  50

It is used as getting drunk, intoxicating, and usually in its pronominal form. It has its origins in the misinterpretation of archaic Spanish embebdar ( "ember" ) , for "embed of spirits" . See also fart .
