acogida

/akoˈxida/ · B2 · noun · f

welcome

🤗🚪 acogida sounds like a-co-HEE-da: a COZY HUG-da greeting at the door

Acogida comes from acoger, 'to take in, receive', from a- + coger 'to grasp, take'. A welcome is literally a taking-in of someone. Link the sound 'a-co-HEE-da' to 'a cozy hee-hee greeting' to recall the warm reception.
