conspiration

🤫🗡️ Cognate: con- (together) + spirare (breathe) = to breathe together in secret

From Latin conspirare, to breathe together: plotters lean in close and whisper. Spanish words ending in -ción are almost always feminine, so it's la conspiración. Match -ción to English -tion: conspiración = conspiracy/conspiration.
