According to the Real Academia Española, from Caló čingarár (“to fight”), from Romani ćingardel (“to fight, to have an argument”), likely from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀘𑀺𑀗𑁆𑀖𑀸𑀝 (*ciṅghāṭa), *𑀘𑀺𑀗𑁆𑀖𑀸𑀭 (*ciṅghāra, “noise, scream”), probably of onomatopoeic origin similar to that of Sanskrit चीत्कार (cītkāra, “cries, noise”), with semantic shift "noise, scream" > "row, quarrel" > "brawl, fight" > "screw, bother". Compare also Hindi चिंघाड़ (ciṅghāṛ, “shriek, roar”).
