director
/diɾeɡˈtoɾ/ · A2 · noun · m
director
🎬 director = direct + -or: the one who directs (same word as English)
From Latin dirigere, to guide or set straight, plus the agent ending -or. Spanish stretches it further than English: the same word covers a film director, an orchestra conductor and a school principal. Stress falls on the last syllable: di-rec-TOR.
