bombero
/bomˈbeɾo/ · B1 · noun · m
fireman
🚒🔥 bomba (pump) + -ero (one who does) = the pump person
Spanish bomba means pump, and the suffix -ero marks a person's job, as in zapatero. Early firefighters worked the water pumps. In parts of Latin America the pump is a fuel pump, so a bombero can also be a gas station attendant.
