ambition
🏆 Latin ambitio = going around: candidates walked around begging for votes
From Latin ambire, amb- (around) + ire (to go). Roman office-seekers went around the city asking for votes, and that canvassing became the word for wanting more. Spanish spells it with -ción where English has -tion.
