consejo

/konˈsexo/ · A2 · noun · m

advice

consejo = counsel: same Latin root consilium, advice and council in one

From Latin consilium, the source of English counsel and council. Spanish keeps both senses in one word: un consejo is a piece of advice, el consejo is a board or council. Swap the -sejo ending for -sel and you have the English cognate.
