Halloween
/ˈxalowin/ · B1 · noun · m
halloween
🎃 Hallow + e'en = All Hallows' Eve; Spanish reads the H as a J: JA-lo-win
Halloween is short for All Hallows' Even, the night before All Saints' Day. Spanish took the English word as it is, so the spelling stays the same, but the H sounds like the Spanish J (a throaty /x/). It is masculine: el Halloween.
