escáner

scanner

🖨️ English scanner + a Spanish e- in front: Spanish words can't start with sc-

Spanish adds an e- before s + consonant, as in escuela (school) and estudiante (student). So scanner becomes escáner. It comes from Latin scandere, to climb, as in scanning a line of verse step by step.
