efecto
/eˈfeɡto/ · A2 · noun · m
consequence
efecto = effect with an -o; from Latin effectus, something worked out
Same Latin root as English effect: ex (out) + facere (to make), a result that has been made to come out. Spanish drops the double f and adds -o. The c is soft, almost a g sound: eh-FEG-to. Masculine: el efecto.
