dónde

/ˈdonde/ · A1 · adv

where?

From Latin de + unde (from where): dónde keeps the -onde of unde

Latin unde meant from where; Spanish added de in front and fused them into donde. The accent mark is only for questions: ¿Dónde está? asks where, while unaccented donde links clauses (the place where I live).
