lawyer
⚖️ abogado = Latin advocatus, one called to your side; same root as advocate
Latin ad (to) + vocare (to call) gave advocatus, the person you call in to speak for you. Spanish softened the v to b and the c to g: advocatus became abogado. English advocate is its cousin, so abogado = your advocate in court.
