autobús

/autoˈbus/ · A2 · noun · m

bus

autobús — bus

🚌 autobús = auto (self-moving) + bus, clipped from Latin omnibus, for all

Nearly the same as English autobus/bus, so the meaning comes free. The bus part is the tail of Latin omnibus, meaning for everyone. Stress falls on the last syllable: au-to-BÚS, which is why it carries a written accent.
