argumento

/aɾɡuˈmento/ · B1 · noun · m

plot, story line

📖 Not just a fight: an argumento is the plot that argues the story forward

Latin argumentum meant the proof, and later the subject matter of a story. So in Spanish argumento covers both a line of reasoning and a film's or novel's plot. To say 'we had an argument', use discusión instead.
