/Sounds like "koo" (as in "cool") + "KAH" (as in "car") + "yoh" (as in "yoke")/
Food packed from home to eat on the road, at work, or in the field. An Ecuadorian word from Quechua that captures a very practical Andean idea: you always bring something to eat because you never know how long the journey will take.
“My mom packed food for me for the whole trip.”
“Did you bring food from home? I'm hungry and we still have a long way to go.”
