data

/ˈdata/ · B2 · noun · f

date

📅 data (es) = date on a calendar; sounds like English data, but means a date

Spanish data comes from Latin data, as in 'data Romae' (given at Rome), the formula that stamped letters with a time and place. English 'date' comes from the same root. Don't confuse it with English 'data'; for that, Spanish uses datos.
