🚬🍷 vicio sounds like VEE-thyo: a vice you can't shake, like a VISE grip
Spanish vicio comes from Latin vitium (fault, defect), which also gave English vice and vicious. A bad habit is a fault in character, and a blotch is a fault in a surface. The sound also echoes vise, a tool that grips tight, like a habit that holds on.
