elección
/eleɡˈθjon/ · A2 · noun · f
choice
🗳️ elección = English election; same Latin root, -tion becomes -ción
From Latin electio, from eligere: e- (out) + legere (to pick), so literally a picking out. That is why it covers both a vote and a personal choice. The verb is elegir, to choose; English elect and select share the root.
