mirakulo

Tagalog

Etymology

Most likely a pseudo-Hispanism, derived from English miracle, and influenced by words with similar endings such as Spanish cenáculo (English cenacle), espectáculo (English spectacle), etc. by analogy. Although a doublet of Spanish milagro, Spanish miráculo is less likely to be the origin due to the word being rare.
