Ventrosa

/benˈtɾosa/

proper noun/benˈtɾosa/

Ventrosa (a village in Anguiano, La Rioja, Spain)

Related: ventrosino

First recorded as Latin Bendosa. The name was perhaps altered by folk etymology to resemble the feminine inflection of a supposed *ventrosus, a possible misconstruction from venter (“belly”) + -osus (adjectival suffix).
