adjective/aɾaˈɡan/
lazy (unwilling to work)
Synonyms: holgazán, perezoso, flojo
According to the Royal Spanish Academy, most likely derived from Andalusian Arabic كان خرا (ḵrā kān), meaning "it was shit".
An alternative theory is a borrowing from Old High German arag, arg (“worthless, lazy, bad”) or Gothic *𐌰𐍂𐌲𐍃 (*args), both from Proto-Germanic *argaz, whence also Old English earg, English eerie, arch, argh.
