Etymology

According to the Real Academia Española, from Caló čingarár (to fight),[1] from Romani chingarar, likely from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀘𑀺𑀗𑁆𑀖𑀸𑀝 (*ciṅghāṭa), *𑀘𑀺𑀗𑁆𑀖𑀸𑀭 (*ciṅghāra, noise, scream), probably of onomatopoeic origin similar to that of Sanskrit चीत्कार (cītkāra, cries, noise),[2] with semantic shift "noise, scream" > "row, quarrel" > "brawl, fight" > "screw, bother". Compare also Hindi चिंघाड़ (ciṅghāṛ, shriek, roar).
