ascenso
/asˈθenso/ · B1 · noun · m
promotion
🧗📈 ascenso = ascent: both from Latin ascendere, to climb up
Latin ascensus, a climbing up, from ad- (to) + scandere (to climb). English got ascend and ascent from the same root. In Spanish, ascenso is a climb up a mountain or up the career ladder, so a promotion is literally a step upward.
