Etymologie (Engels)

In summary

Borrowed from Asturian nalga or Leonese nalga from Vulgar Latin *natica, an adjectival term based on Latin natis (“rump, buttock”) (compare Catalan natja, Galician nádega, Italian natica, Portuguese nádega, Old French nache, English nates). The /l/ resulted from an original */ˈnad(e)ɡa/ through Asturleonese (a native result would be *nazga). For similar examples, see Spanish alma (“soul”) from Latin anima, and Asturian dolce (“twelve”), from earlier */ˈdod(e)dze/, from Latin duodecim. Compare Spanish juzgar, from Latin iūdicāre, and the Spanish suffix -azgo from Latin -āticum.
