cuidadoso

/kwidaˈdoso/ · B1 · adj

careful

🦺 cuidado (care) + -oso (full of) = care-full, careful

Spanish -oso works like English -ous: it means full of something. Cuidado means care, from Latin cogitatus, thought. So a cuidadoso person is full of care and thought. ¡Cuidado! is also the Spanish shout for Watch out!
