Word origin
The word 'insinuate' originated from the Latin word 'insinuare', which means 'to wind into, to introduce tortuously, to ingratiate.' It entered the English language in the 16th century with the meaning 'to introduce oneself into favor or confidence.' Over time, the meaning evolved to include the current definition of suggesting or hinting at something indirectly.
