raña

• ranha (reintegrationist)

Uncertain. From the same origin of rañar, Spanish arañar and Portuguese arranhar.^[1]

Starting with the sense of "mange" or "scabies", more likely from Latin arānea (“spiderweb”), and thus a doublet of araña. Compare Romanian râie (“mange, scabies”), also Portuguese ronha, Spanish roña, Catalan ronya, French rogne, Italian rogna, all with the same meaning and derived from a related Vulgar Latin root *aronea or *ronea. Alternatively, possibly derived from the verb rañar.
