yunque
Spanish
Alternative forms
- ayunque (early modern, now obsolete)
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), with metathesis from incue, itself from Vulgar Latin *incŭde, from Latin incūdem[1]. The Old Spanish term, like the Latin etymon, was feminine. In the early modern period, a variant ayunque appeared, due to reanalysis with the article (la yunque > el ayunque), producing the complete change in gender observed in the modern form.
