canalla
/kaˈnaʝa/ · B1 · noun · f
mob
🐕 Etymology: Italian canaglia, a pack of dogs (cane = dog, like canine)
Latin canis means dog, the same root as canine. A canalla was first a pack of dogs, then an insult for the lowly mob. As a feminine noun it means the rabble; used of one person, un canalla is a scoundrel.
