archive

archivo — archive

🗄️📁 archivo = archive + o: same Greek root, where records are kept

From Latin archivum, Greek arkheion (the magistrates' records office). English archive is the same word. In Spanish it also covers a single computer file and the cabinet that holds files, so one word spans all three.
