embajada
/embaˈxada/ · B1 · noun · f
embassy
🏛️ Same root as English embassy and ambassador: embajador works at the embajada
Both come from Old Provençal ambaissada, meaning a mission. The Spanish b and j stand where English has b and ss, so embaj- lines up with embass-. The -ada ending makes it feminine: la embajada.
