Etymology

From Spanish cigarro (“cigar, cigarette”), possibly from a Mayan language such as Yucatec Maya siyar (“to smoke tobacco leaves”) or Q'eqchi sik'ar (“to smoke”), possibly also from cigarro (“male cicada”), a form of cigarra (“cicada”), from a Vulgar Latin root *cicāla (or an alternate Iberian variant form *cicāra), from Latin cicāda (“cicada”), possibly from a substrate language, ultimately onomatopoeic.
