🔒 cárcel shares a root with incarcerate: Latin carcer, a jail
English incarcerate literally means to put in a carcer, the Latin word for jail. Spanish kept the root almost intact: carcer became cárcel, with the final r softening to l. Drop the in- and -ate from incarcerate and you nearly have the word.
