language note:

Several Spanish words in English have nuances of meaning not shared by their synonyms. For example, aficionado, literally `fond of', refers to a person who is passionate about a particular activity or pastime, e.g. a wine aficionado, an aficionado of classical music. Some of its synonyms have connotations of obsession, e.g. addict, buff, freak, fiend, and others have connotations of expertise, e.g. connoisseur, expert, whizz. Aficionado is perhaps most closely related in meaning to admirer, devotee, enthusiast, and fan. Another Spanish word which has no direct English equivalent is peccadillo. From `pecado' meaning sin, a peccadillo is a lapse or minor sin. It describes a fault which is ethical or moral, rather than legal or religious, although there is some overlap between these categories. It can be contrasted with words relating to legal offences such as crime, offence, and violation, and those of religious wrongdoing such as sin, trespass, and transgression. It shares the meaning of misdemeanour, lapse, and misbehaviour, e.g. Speeding is indulged as the peccadillo of the too-busy. Bonanza, literally `calm sea', is a Spanish word descended from Latin bonus, meaning `good'. It signifies a source of luck and money, which is usually sudden and unexpected, e.g. cash bonanza, ratings bonanza. In comparison, bonus also has associations with money in the sense of `dividend' in British English. Many of the synonyms of bonanza are found almost exclusively in the context of money, e.g. windfall, jackpot, whereas bonanza can refer to other types of good fortune.
