/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "TEH" (as in "ten") + "roh" (as in "row")/
A laborer who hauls heavy sacks and loads at market plazas, the informal porter whose back keeps the market economy moving. In Colombia, coteros are a fixture of traditional markets, doing physically brutal work for modest pay.
“El cotero cargó veinte bultos de papa en una mañana.”
“The porter hauled twenty sacks of potatoes in one morning.”
“Without the market carriers, the plaza doesn't function.”
