depresión
/depɾeˈsjon/ · B1 · noun · f
depression
🌧️ Cognate of depression: Latin de- (down) + premere (press) = pressed down
Same root as English depression, so the meaning carries over. Spanish words ending in -sión are feminine: la depresión. The stress falls on the last syllable, -SIÓN, and the s sounds like the s in see, never like the sh in English depression.
