esfera

/esˈfeɾa/ · B2 · noun · f

sphere

🔮 esfera = es + FEH-ra: sounds like 'S, fair-a' — a perfectly fair round ball

Spanish esfera comes from Greek sphaira, 'ball'. Say 'es-FEH-ra' and link it to English 'sphere', which comes from the same Greek root. The same word covers a clock face and a realm or sphere of influence.
