calcanhar

Etymology

[edit]

From the now uncommon and mostly slang term calcanho (foot; heel), itself from Latin calcāneum (heel) (whence also the learned borrowing calcâneo), from Latin calx; less likely from a Vulgar Latin *calcaneāre. Appears as calcannar in Old Galician-Portuguese. Compare Spanish calcañar.
