Etymology of CODO

The etymology of the word "codo" can be traced back to the Latin word "cubitus", which means "elbow". This Latin term was later borrowed into the Spanish language, where it evolved into "codo". Over time, the word came to be exclusively associated with the anatomical elbow rather than its original meaning. Now "codo" is commonly used in Spanish to refer to the bendable joint that connects the forearm to the upper arm.
