asistencia
/asisˈtenθja/ · B1 · noun · f
attendance
🙋 Sounds like assist + -encia: assistance, and the turnout that assists at an event
It comes from Latin assistere, to stand by. To stand by someone is to help them, and to stand by an event is to attend it. Watch out: 'asistir a clase' means to attend class, not to help it.
