calle
/ˈkaʝe/ · A1 · noun · f
street
🛣️ From Latin callis, a narrow footpath: the path grew into a street
Latin callis meant a beaten track for walkers and livestock. Spanish kept the word and widened the meaning to any town street. Sound hook: CAH-yeh, like calling out KA-YEah down the street. The ll is a y sound, never an l.
