Word History

The word innuendo dates from the 16th century. It is a Latin word meaning literally 'by nodding at, by pointing to', from nuere 'to nod'. It was first used in legal documents in the sense 'that is to say', serving as a formula to introduce an explanation or aside as in 'he (innuendo the plaintiff) is a thief'. Hence it came to be used as a noun referring to such an aside; in particular it served as a pointer to the libellous or slanderous meaning alleged to be conveyed by a word or expression that was not in itself actionable.

Wikipedia

Innuendo

An innuendo is a hint, insinuation or intimation about a person or thing, especially of a denigrating or derogatory nature. It can also be a remark or question, typically disparaging (also called insinuation), that works obliquely by allusion. In the latter sense, the intention is often to insult or accuse someone in such a way that one's words, taken literally, are innocent.

According to the Advanced Oxford Learner's Dictionary, an innuendo is "an indirect remark about somebody or something, usually suggesting something bad, mean or rude", such as: "innuendos about her private life" or "The song is full of sexual innuendo".
