/Sounds like "gwah" (as in "Guam") + "yah" (as in "yard") + "KAHN" (as in "car")/
In Colombia, calling someone a guayacán is the highest kind of compliment: they are unbreakable. The word comes from the guayacán tree, famous for its incredibly hard wood and long life. This person has faced hardship, stayed standing, and kept going.
“That man is a guayacán: he lost his business twice and rebuilt it both times.”
“Their friendship is guayacán-strong, decades in and nothing has broken it.”
