Forms: 1600s corrosou, corroso, correso, 1700s curasso, curaçoa, 1700s–1800s curassao, 1800s curassow.

Etymology: A phonetic spelling of the name of the island Curaçao /kuːraˈsɑːu/.

One of a family of gallinaceous birds found in Central and South America; they have a general resemblance to the turkey, and several species are domesticated. The most common species, to which the name corrosou or Curaçao-bird was originally applied, is the Crested Curassow, Crax alector, of a greenish-black colour with a white crest; the Galeated Curassow or Cushew-bird, Pauxis galeata, has a large bony protuberance on the upper part of the bill.
