círculo

/ˈθiɾkulo/ · B1 · noun · m

circle

⭕ Sounds like circle-o; from Latin circulus, a small ring

Latin circus meant ring, and circulus meant little ring. English circle and Spanish círculo both come from it. The accent marks the stress on the first syllable: CÍR-cu-lo. In Spain the c sounds like th, so it starts with THEER.
