vagina
/baˈxina/ · B1 · noun · f
vagina
Same word as English; Latin vagina meant sheath or scabbard
Spelled the same as in English, but Spanish says it bah-HEE-nah: the v sounds like a soft b and the g like a throaty h. The Latin source, vagina, meant sheath. The same root gives vainilla, a little sheath, from the vanilla pod.
