batalla
/baˈtaʝa/ · A2 · noun · f
battle
⚔️ batalla = battle; same root as bat, batter, combat (Latin battuere, to beat)
Both words come from Late Latin battualia, fighting drills, from battuere, to beat. Swap the English -tle ending for Spanish -talla and you have it. The double l is said like y: ba-TA-ya. Related: batallar (to fight), batallón (battalion).
