In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish yunque, with metathesis from incue, itself from Vulgar Latin *incŭde, from Latin incūdem. 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.
