ejecutivo

/exekuˈtibo/ · B1 · adj

executive

💼 ejecutivo = ejecutar (to carry out) + -ivo: the one who carries things out

From Latin exsequi, to follow through to the end. An ejecutivo executes decisions. Watch the sound: the j is a throaty /x/, so it's eh-heh-koo-TEE-boh, with the stress on -ti-.
