estilo

/esˈtilo/ · A2 · noun · m

manner

✒️ estilo = style with an e- up front; both from Latin stilus, a writing tool

Latin stilus was a pointed writing tool; a person's way of writing became their style. Spanish adds e- before s+consonant (school/escuela, state/estado, style/estilo), so strip the e- and swap -o for -e to get the English word.
