acá
/aˈka/ · A2 · adv
here
📍 acá = a + ca: Latin eccum hac, behold this way, worn down to two syllables
From Latin eccum hac, meaning behold, by this way. The ca part is the same hac hiding in allá and acullá, so the a-...-á adverbs form a family. Acá is the looser, more Latin American twin of aquí: around here, over this way.
