distracción
/distɾaɡˈθjon/ · B1 · noun · f
distraction
🎠 dis- (apart) + tracción (pulling): something pulling your focus away
From Latin distrahere, to pull apart. It shares a root with tracción and tractor, which both pull things. Spanish -cción is English -ction, so distracción maps straight onto distraction. Like most -ción nouns, it is feminine: la distracción.
