Etymology
Marketing coinage, likely from Spanish dorar (“to gild”), dorado (“golden”), with an ending matching other brands of Frito-Lay Inc. (Cheetos, Fritos, Tostitos), from Spanish frito (“fried”), also possibly as a clipping of Spanish doradito (“little golden [thing]”), diminutive of dorado (“golden”).
