"carajo" meaning in All languages combined

See carajo on Wiktionary

Interjection [Spanish]

IPA: /kaˈɾaxo/, [kaˈɾa.xo]
Rhymes: -axo Etymology: The etymology is uncertain, but the most plausible source on the basis of both semantics and historical phonology appears to be unattested Vulgar Latin *c(h)araculum (“stick, rod”), which would have been a Latinized diminutive of Ancient Greek χάραξ (khárax, “stick”), from χαρακτήρ (kharaktḗr). Another possibility is Late Latin cassus or its diminutive, carassus (“empty”), eventually used to describe a crow's nest on a ship. Certain cognates include Portuguese caralho, Galician carallo and Catalan carall. Some claim that attempts to attribute Italian cazzo, with the same meaning, to the same etymon fail on phonological grounds, as the /r/ of carajo (or its absence in cazzo) remains unexplained, and no Latin phonological sequence develops as both /x/ in Spanish and /tts/ in Italian. However, the aforementioned carassus (“empty”) may be cognate with the word "carajo".
