ORIGIN OF BICHOTE

Bichote is directly related to the Spanish word “bug”. The latter, for its part, originates from the Latin bestius which means “animal”. Therefore, literally this word is used to designate an animal, especially small, that stands out in size to its equals.

One of the meanings given by the RAE to a bug is that of “wicked person with bad intentions”. So, by extension in the urban and drug environment it has been assigned a meaning of leader. From this perspective, what is done is to apply a meaning to the term even if it is far from its original semantics.

Due to the popularity of urban music genres, it is increasingly popular to use it in the leading sense. This is due to its great use of “bichote” in these types of songs , both in its male version and in the female version “bichota”.
