==Etymology== The word means "they fill up in vain". Spanish lexicographers glossed it as , "wasted days". The interpretation is that the Mexicas considered the days unlucky, and most activities (including even cooking) were avoided as far as possible during the period; however this interpretation is contested by Indigenous people.
