insinuar
/insiˈnwaɾ/ · B1 · verb
insinuate
🐍 in + Latin sinus (curve): a hint that winds its way in sideways
From Latin insinuare, to bend or wind into. English sinuous comes from the same root. To insinuar is to slip an idea in by a winding path instead of saying it straight. The cognate makes it easy: insinuar = insinuate.
