Ñapa in Spanish means an unexpected benefit, especially a gift a customer receives with a purchase.  It comes from the Quechua word "yapa" which means "something added".

In English and French, they have a word "lagniappe" with the same meaning, which has its origin in the Spanish "la ñapa".  Lagniappe was today's word of the day in Wordsmith.

This is an example of a word that includes an article when it was converted to another language.
