aborto
/aˈboɾto/ · B2 · noun · m
abortion
Cognate of English abort: Latin ab- (away) + oriri (to be born)
Latin aboriri meant to miscarry, literally to rise away from birth. It covers both abortion and miscarriage. As slang, aborto is a harsh insult for a very ugly person. It is offensive, so recognise it but avoid using it.
