Etymology
Fazenda originally meant a 'farm' or 'large estate' in Portuguese and is similar to the Spanish hacienda. It comes from the Latin root facere, meaning 'to make' or 'to do', and because the government once looked after estates and money, Fazenda is now used as an informal name for Brazil's Ministry of Finance.
