apetito
/apeˈtito/ · B1 · noun · m
appetite
🍽️ apetito = appetite; both from Latin appetitus, a craving or desire
Latin appetere meant to strive for or seek out, from ad- (toward) + petere (to seek). Spanish dropped the double p and added -o, so apetito is your appetite. Hambre is the plain word for hunger; apetito is wanting to eat.
