contacto
/konˈtaɡto/ · A2 · noun · m
contact
🤝 contacto = contact + o; Latin con (with) + tangere (to touch)
Same Latin root as English contact: contactus, from con- (together) and tangere (to touch). Spanish keeps the word and adds the masculine -o ending. Related: tangible, tangent, tact, all from the same touch root.
