activo

/aɡˈtibo/ · B1 · adj

active

🏃💰 activo = active + o; from Latin activus, from agere, to do

Same root as English active, act and agent. Say it ag-TEE-bo: the c softens towards g and the v sounds like a soft b. In finance, un activo is an asset, something that actively works for you, while its opposite, a liability, is un pasivo.
