cicatriz
/θikaˈtɾiθ/ · B1 · noun · f
scar
🩹 Latin cicatrix = scar; English doctors still say cicatrix
Spanish kept the Latin word and swapped the final x for z. In medical English a healing wound cicatrizes, meaning it closes into a scar. Like other -triz words such as actriz, it is feminine: la cicatriz, plural cicatrices.
