computadora

/komputaˈdoɾa/ · A2 · noun · f

computer

💻 computadora = computar (to compute) + -dora (-er): a computer

Almost the English word with an extra -dora on the end. The suffix -dor/-dora marks the doer of a verb, like English -er, and the -a ending is why it is feminine: la computadora. Common in Latin America; Spain says ordenador.
