ingle
groin


Etymology
The Spanish word 'ingle' comes directly from the Latin word 'inguen', which meant 'groin'. This is a straightforward etymology where both the meaning and form remained quite stable as the word evolved from Latin to Spanish. The main change was the simplification of the word structure, where the final '-n' was dropped, a common phenomenon in the evolution from Latin to Spanish words.
