Etymology

[edit]

From Philippine Spanish banca, from Tagalog bangka.

Noun

[edit]

banca (plural bancas)

  1. (Philippines) A canoe; an outrigger canoe or dugout.
    • 1908, W. W. Pettit, “Fourth Grade Civics: 13th Meeting—Water Supply”, in Philippine Education[1], volume 5, number 1, Manila, page 29:
      In towns on plains near the sea it is difficult to secure good water. The rivers are salt and water has to be carried in bancas many miles. An open banca is neither a clean nor a safe way to carry water.
