gi·ro \ˈjir-(ˌ)ō\ \ˈzhir-o\ \ˈjē-(ˌ)rō\
noun 19th Century Latin
: a service of European banks that permits authorized direct transfer of funds among account holders
Like the lamb-based pita sandwich of Greek origin to which this term bears a striking resemblance, this word also confuses people who attempt pronouncing it...yet is nowhere near as delicious.
