comisaría
/komisaˈɾia/ · B1 · noun · f
police station
🚓 comisario (police commissioner) + -ía (place) = the commissioner's station
Spanish -ía can mark a place, as in panadería (bakery) and librería (bookshop). A comisario is a police commissioner, so comisaría is where the commissioner works: the police station. The stress falls on the í: co-mi-sa-RÍ-a.
