enjuto

== Spanish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /enˈxuto/ [ẽŋˈxu.t̪o] Rhymes: -uto Syllabification: en‧ju‧to === Etymology 1 === Inherited from Old Spanish enxuto, from Latin exsūctus, perfect passive participle of exsūgō, from ex + sūgō. Compare Portuguese enxuto, Catalan eixut, Italian asciutto. In pre-literary Spanish, the word likely had the form *eissuito (compare also Old Galician-Portuguese enxoyto, Galician enxoito), and then underwent a change of prefix through influence from enjugar (the same process affecting other Ibero-Romance languages), with the ending being influenced by past participles such as roto, escrito, frito, etc. (as normally the Latin consonant cluster -ct- yields -ch- in Spanish; a form ensucho was attested, and ensuchu is used in Asturian, where it became the irregular past participle of ensugar). ==== Adjective ==== enjuto (feminine enjuta, masculine plural enjutos, feminine plural enjutas) shriveled dry withered, skinny, skin and bones ===== Derived terms ===== ===== See also ===== enjugar === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Verb ==== enjuto first-person singular present indicative of enjutar === Further reading === “enjuto”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025 === References ===
