Spanish
🥘 español = España + -ol: of Spain; English Spanish and Spaniard share the root
From Latin Hispania (Spain) via Old Occitan espaignol. The ñ is the ny sound in canyon, so say es-pa-NYOL with stress on the last syllable. The Esp- start matches Spain with an extra e in front, as in escuela/school.
