ORIGIN OF CORITO SANO
Corito in the sense of a group of people comes from the Latin chorus and the Greek choros. From this meaning it was adapted in the urban context to refer to people who are friends or who share a gathering. Little by little, due to its use in music, the term has spread to other Spanish-speaking regions.
Another of the origins of corito is the one that indicates that it comes from the Latin corium, which is equal to “skin” ; it means “in leather or naked“. From this connotation the semantics that refer to human skin and that of grapes are born.
