aventura

/abenˈtuɾa/ · A2 · noun · f

adventure

🧭 aventura = adventure with the d dropped; both from Latin adventura

From Latin adventura, what is about to happen (ad + venire, to come). English kept the d, Spanish lost it. The second sense, a fling, is the same idea: something unplanned that comes along.
