penis

pene — penis

Same Latin root as English penis, just with an e on the end: PEH-neh

Spanish and English both take this word from Latin penis, which first meant tail. Spanish swaps the -is ending for -e, so you say both syllables: PEH-neh. Like most nouns ending in -e that name a male body part, it is masculine: el pene.
