ayuno (feminine ayuna, masculine plural ayunos, feminine plural ayunas)

1. fasting (not having eaten)
   • 1915, Julio Vicuña Cifuentes, Mitos y Supersticiones Recogidos de la Tradición Oral Chilena, page 1:

     La causa por que el Alicanto no puede volar, no reside en sus alas, que son perfectamente normales, sino en su buche, por la pesadez de los alimentos que ingiere. Cuando está ayuno, corre con mucha ligereza; después de harto, se mueve muy lentamente.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

From the above, or from Latin ieiūnium (through a similar Vulgar Latin intermediate). Doublet of the borrowed yeyuno.
