compadre
/komˈpadɾe/ · B2 · noun · m
child
🤝 com- (together) + padre (father) = co-father, the child's godfather
Compadre comes from Latin compater: com- 'with' + pater 'father'. Two men share a child through baptism, so they are co-fathers to each other. The bond grew into a word for a very close, trusted male friend.
