Rare enough to double-check
tragaleche is uncommon Spanish outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [t̪ɾaɣ̞aˈlet͡ʃe]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Insulto hacia una persona, que puede tener diversas connotaciones como las de: inútil, inmoral, falto de inteligencia, etc.".
tragaleche has no tracked misspelling variants, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable Spanish rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct Spanish form is tragaleche, spelled T-R-A-G-A-L-E-C-H-E.
