editEtymology
editThe etymology is uncertain, but the most plausible source on the basis of both semantics and historical phonology appears to be unattested Vulgar Latin *c(h)araculum, which would have been a Latinized diminutive of Ancient Greek χάραξ (khárax, “stick”).
Certain cognates include Spanish carajo, Galician carallo and Catalan carall. Attempts to attribute Italian same-meaning cazzo to the same etymon fail on phonological grounds, as the /r/ of carajo (or its absence in cazzo) remains unexplained, and no Latin phonological sequence develops as both /x/ in Spanish and /tts/ in Italian.

- 2022, “Padrão É O Caralho”, performed by Black Pantera:
- Sinta-se bem
Não seja escravo de um espelho
Em um mundo de vaidades
Quem decide o que é feio?
Importante perceber
E também se aceitar
Ninguém é igual a ninguém
Sempre válido lembrar que
Padrão é o caralho- Feel good about yourself
Don't be a slave to a mirror
In a world of vanity
Who decides who's ugly?
Important to realize
And also to accept
No one is equal to anyone
Always valid to remember that
The norm is bullshit
- Feel good about yourself
Interjection
editcaralho!
- (colloquial, vulgar) fuck!
