cápsula
/ˈkabsula/ · B2 · noun · f
capsule
💊 cápsula = capsule; from Latin capsula, a little box (capsa = box)
Spanish cápsula is a near twin of English capsule. Both come from Latin capsula, 'small box', a diminutive of capsa. A pill capsule and a bottle cap are both small containers or lids, which matches that origin.
