aguja
/aˈɡuxa/ · B1 · noun · f
acerate leaf
🪡 From Latin acus, needle, the same root as acupuncture and acute
Latin acucula means little needle and became aguja. Acupuncture is needle-pricking, and acute means sharp-pointed, so all three share the sharp tip. A clock's hand is a thin pointer, which is why it's also an aguja.
