merenguen.

/məˈrɛŋɡeɪ/

Forms: 1800s– marengo, 1900s– marango, 1900s– marenga, 1900s– maringa, 1900s– meranga, 1900s– merenge, 1900s– merengue, 1900s– meringue, 1900s– merinque.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish merengue.

Etymology: < American Spanish merengue (first recorded as the name of a dance in Puerto Rico in 1842), also meringue , probably a spec. development of Spanish merengue meringue n.¹ Compare Jamaican Creole merengue, Haitian Creole mereng, Krio maringa. The sense development in American Spanish has not been fully explained (perhaps compare sense attested in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay ‘upheaval, disorder, scrap’). In view of occurrence in Krio and also of use in form maringa as the name of a dance in Bioko (formerly Fernando Póo), many have suggested that a word originally from an African language has become identified with the Spanish word; however, the use in Bioko could equally be a borrowing from Krio and the Krio word ultimately a loan < Spanish.

An energetic kind of dance music originating in the Dominican Republic but also popular in other parts of the Caribbean and elsewhere, characterized by short precise rhythms and traditionally played on an accordion, a small drum (tambora), and a guiro (subsequently also adapted for other instruments); a style of dancing associated with this music.
