macho
male (animal or person)
noun adjective MAH-choh Less Common
Origin: From Latin masculus (male).
Also means
macho man
Usage Note
Macho literally means the male of any species (el macho de la especie) and is the standard biological term. As an adjective or noun applied to humans it carries the cultural connotation of exaggerated or aggressive masculinity — a 'macho man'. The borrowed English use of 'macho' as a pure compliment is stronger than in Spanish, where it often implies criticism. The related noun machismo denotes the ideology.
Examples
"El macho del ciervo tiene cuernos grandes."
