codo
/ˈkodo/ · B2 · adj
elbow
💪 codo comes from Latin cubitus, elbow, which also gave English cubit
A cubit was measured from the elbow to the fingertips, so codo means both elbow and that length. The stingy sense comes from the idiom duro de codo, hard of elbow: someone who keeps their arm bent and won't reach out to pay.
