/mo.ˈzɐ̃w/
💡
Cultural Note
An augmentative of 'moço/moça' (young man/woman) using the -ão suffix, which in this context amplifies attractiveness rather than size. Very popular Brazilian youth/internet slang for referring to a romantic partner or crush. The augmentative suffix here is playful and affectionate, contrasting with the diminutive (-inho) which also conveys affection — both directions work for endearment in Portuguese.
