Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish sobaco, of uncertain or obscure origin. Possibly from a crossing of Late Latin or Vulgar Latin subāla (from sub + āla (“wing; armpit”); cf. Romanian subsuoară) with subhircus (from hircus (“male goat; smell of armpits”). Less likely from a Vulgar Latin *subbracchium, from sub- + bracchium. Found uniquely in Ibero-Romance languages. Compare Portuguese sovaco, Asturian sobacu, and Galician sobaco, cf. also sobrazo. See: Romanian Nouns '
subsuoară', Portuguese Nouns '
sovaco', Asturian Nouns '
sobacu', Galician Nouns '
sobaco'.
