means A long, colorful blanket-like shawl, often with bold stripes or patterns, worn draped over the shoulders, especially in Mexico and Central America.

from From Mexican Spanish 'sarape' (also spelled 'jorongo' in some regions), a word whose deeper roots are uncertain — possibly linked to indigenous Mesoamerican languages, though no single source is confirmed. The garment itself descends from woven blankets long made by indigenous weavers, later adapted into the wearable wrap that became a visual shorthand for Mexican dress in art and film.
