shower

🚿 Cousin of French douche (shower), from Latin ductus, a duct for water

Ducha came into Spanish from French douche, which came from Italian doccia, meaning a water pipe. All of them go back to Latin ductus, the same root as English duct. So a ducha is the duct that pours water over you. Say it DOO-cha.
