loca
Insane in Spanish
Loca is Spanish for crazy, used in English to describe a wild or unhinged woman.
It appears in the feminine form because Spanish adjectives match the gender of the noun—a crazy man would be *loco*.
In English contexts, loca often carries playful or affectionate connotations: She went absolutely loca when she heard the news.
The word gained wider currency through Latin American music and culture.
