calcetín
/kalθeˈtin/ · B1 · noun · m
sock
🧦 calcet + -ín (small): a little calza, the old word for stocking
From Latin calceus, shoe, which gave Spanish calza, hose or stocking. Calceta is a knee-length stocking, and the diminutive -ín shrinks it to ankle height: a sock. The stress falls on the last syllable: cal-the-TEEN.
