ángel
/ˈanxel/ · A2 · noun · m
angel
👼 From Greek angelos = messenger; same word as English angel, said AHN-hel
Spanish ángel and English angel both come from Greek angelos, messenger, via Latin angelus. Spelling is nearly identical; only the sound shifts: the g is a throaty h, like the j in jalapeño, and the stress falls on the first syllable.
