criterio
/kɾiˈteɾjo/ · B2 · noun · m
standard
⚖️ criterio = sounds like 'cry-TAIR-yo': a judge cries 'Tear it up!' at weak reasons
From Greek kritḗrion, 'means of judging', from krínein, 'to judge or separate'. Same root as English criterion, critic and crisis. A criterio is the standard you judge by, and the judgment you hold yourself.
