The story
Bor is wine and borravaló is money meant for it: what you leave the waiter so they can drink your health. French made the same joke with pourboire and German with Trinkgeld. English says tip.
borravaló
BOR-rah-vah-loh[ˈborːɒvɒloː]
a tip, literally money for wine
Closest in English: tip, gratuity, tips. None of them covers it.
