carajo
m.
(Noun)
"penis;" "crow's nest"
Unknown origin. A link to other Romance words for penis is plausible but shakey in which case we can posit a Vulgar Latin word *caraculus "little stick," which would have been a borrowing from Greek χάραξ (kháraks) "stick" with a diminutive suffix.
χάραξ is of unknown origin. Possibly borrowed from a non-Indo-European language.
Romance
Asturian (dialects) carayu, Portuguese caralho, Galician carallo, Catalan carall
