automático
/autoˈmatiko/ · B1 · adj
automatic
🤖⚙️ Same root as English automatic: Greek automatos, acting by itself
Greek auto- means self and -matos means willing or moving, so automático is something that runs by itself. Spanish puts the stress on the third-to-last syllable: au-to-MÁ-ti-co, which is why it carries the written accent.
