In Spanish it is the "male orchid" (Orchis mascula), with a complicated etymology. Male is "male, male" and comes from the French archaic masle that takes it from Latin mascle, a vulgarization of masculus as diminutive of m 257;s ( "male" ). Orchid or orchis is "orquidea", as in Greek 959; 961; 967; 953; 962; ( pr . orkis "testicle" ), and the association comes from the resemblance of the orchid tuber to the scrotum and testicles. And as presented, the consultation could also be interpreted as a two-way pun by "very brave" 128521; .
