Chinche

/ˈtʃɪntʃeɪ/ noun

Definition

An alternative or variant spelling of chinch; a small pest insect that feeds on plant sap.

Etymology

Spanish form of the word 'chinch,' used in some English texts and particularly in Spanish-speaking regions where the pest is common.

Kelly Says

Spanish-language agricultural advisories frequently warn about 'chinches' causing crop damage, and the word shows how sometimes English borrows the same words from different languages in slightly different forms.
