How Do You Spell ESPUNDIA?

Etymology of ESPUNDIA

The word "espundia" has its origins in the Nahuatl language, which is the indigenous language of the Nahua people of Mexico and Central America. In Nahuatl, the word is spelled "ichpochtli" and it refers to a contagious disease affecting the face.

During the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the word "ichpochtli" was adapted and transformed into "espundia" in the Spanish language. This term was used to describe a specific form of American cutaneous leishmaniasis, which is a parasitic infection caused by the Leishmania parasite.

It's important to note that "espundia" is a term that specifically relates to this medical condition, and it isn't used in common usage or conversation in modern Spanish.
