gazabo

/ɡəˈzeɪbəʊ/ noun C1

a man or boy

Word Origin A playful 18th-century coinage: gaze (from Middle English, to stare) + -ebo, a mock-Latin future tense ending like videbo 'I shall see.' So a gazebo is literally 'I shall gaze' — a structure built for looking out at a view. The variant gazabo is less common. It's a whimsical word, a great example of how English loves to play with Latin-sounding endings. Related: gaze, gazer, stargazer.
