Did you know?
- While testículo is the anatomical term, in many Spanish-speaking countries, people use the slang huevo (egg) to refer to testicles in a much more colloquial way.
- The word izquierdo has roots in the Basque language, specifically from the word ezker, which is a linguistic link many Spanish speakers do not realize exists.
- The term testículo is a direct descendant of the Latin testiculus, which originally meant 'small witness'.
