ORIGIN OF TRAGA

Swallow comes from the verb swallow which is of uncertain origin in the Spanish language . This word has a high polysemy in different Spanish-speaking areas and for this reason there is no clear trace of where it comes from. However, it is part of the colloquialisms and cultural words of many areas.

The main meaning is related to the verb eat although in an inappropriate way. However, there are many more applications, among which the use in Colombia stands out to denote a person who is very much in love with another.
