Etymology
Llama comes from the Quechua word lama, which was the name Andean people used for this animal and was later taken into Spanish and English; the word can be remembered as meaning 'animal from the Andes'. So, when you hear llama, think of a long-necked mountain animal that carries loads and gives warm wool.
