exacto
/eɡˈsaɡto/ · A2 · adv
exact, exactly
🎯 exacto = English exact + o; from Latin exactus, driven out to precision
A near-twin of English exact: add -o and say it eg-SAG-to. Both come from Latin exactus (ex + agere, to drive out, demand in full). Said alone, ¡Exacto! means Exactly! The knife sense echoes the X-Acto brand of precision blades.
