Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Old Spanish sangne, from Latin sanguinem, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁sh₂-én-, oblique stem of *h₁ésh₂r̥ (“blood”). Compare Portuguese sangue, Catalan sang, French sang, Italian sangue, Romanian sânge. The change of the second n to an r in the modern descendant from earlier sangne is likely due to dissimilation away from two subsequent nasals. The reason for the change in gender is unclear.
