Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
gusano
Spanish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Possibly from Latin cossus (with an additional suffix), according to the Diccionario de la lengua española of 1884, but this is highly unlikely.[1] Possibly from a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia.
In the sense of "counter-revolutionary" or "reactionary" it can be attributed to Fidel Castro.
