testículo

testis

testículo — testis

🥜 testículo ≈ test + tiny: a little witness, from Latin testis = witness

Latin testis meant witness, and testiculus is its diminutive, so a testículo is literally a little witness. The same root gives English testify and testimony, so to testify is to speak as a witness.
