actuación

/aɡtwaˈθjon/ · B1 · noun · f

performance

🎭🎤 actuación = actuar (to act, perform) + -ción, cousin of English actuation

Built like many Spanish nouns: the verb actuar (to act, to perform) plus the suffix -ción, which turns an action into a noun, like -tion in English. Both go back to Latin actus, a thing done. It is feminine: la actuación.
