Innuendo
innuendo
- 1678, from L. innuendo "by meaning, pointing to," lit. "giving a nod to," abl. of ger. of innuere "to mean, signify, nod to," from in- "at" + nuere "to nod." A legal phrase in M.L. with the sense of "to wit." It often introduced the derogatory meaning alleged in libel cases, which influenced its broader meaning.
