gorra

cap

noun GOH-rrah Rare

Also means

baseball cap

Usage Note

Gorra is the standard word for a peaked cap or baseball cap. The phrase de gorra means 'for free, at someone else's expense' (entrar de gorra = to gate-crash, to get in free). Do not confuse it with gorro (m), a beanie or knitted hat without a peak — the -a/-o distinction signals a different item, not just gender.

Examples

"Llevaba una gorra azul para protegerse del sol."

Natural Translation

He was wearing a blue cap to protect himself from the sun.
