espacio
/esˈpaθjo/ · A2 · noun · m
space
🚀 espacio = space with an e- up front, like especial = special
From Latin spatium (room, extent), the same root as English space and spacious. Spanish adds e- before s + consonant: spatium → espacio, just as school → escuela and state → estado. Strip the e- and the English word is right there.
