embarazoso
/embaɾaˈθoso/ · B2 · adj
embarrassing
😳 embarazoso = embarazar (to hinder) + oso; sounds like embarrass-oh-so
Spanish embarazar means to hinder or encumber, and the same root gave English embarrass. Adding -oso (full of) gives embarazoso: full of hindrance, so a situation that blocks you from acting smoothly. Beware: embarazada means pregnant, not embarrassed.
