colapso
/koˈlabso/ · B2 · noun · m
collapse
🏚️ colapso sounds like collapse: co- (together) + lapso (slip), all slipping down
Spanish colapso comes from Latin collapsus, from col- (together) + labi (to slip, fall). Everything slips down together. The English collapse shares the same root, so the two words are near twins.
