Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Spanish abracete (embraced; hugged), or from corruption of Spanish de bracete (arm-in-arm). The /s/ may possibly have been irregularly palatalized following front vowel /e/ (c.f. giyera).

Alternatively, possibly from Spanish abra siete (open seven) according to the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (Commission on the Filipino Language).
