estresado

/estɾeˈsado/ · B2 · adj

stressed

😰 estresado = stress + -ado (past participle): stress-ed, same as English

Spanish estrés comes from English stress, and -ado is the Spanish past-participle ending, like -ed. So estresado is literally stressed. The es- start is added because Spanish words rarely begin with st-.
