excelente

/eɡsθeˈlente/ · A2 · adj

excellent, brilliant, superb

🏆 excelente = excellent with an -e: Latin excellere, to rise above the rest

A near-twin of English excellent, so the meaning comes free. Both come from Latin excellere, to rise above or surpass. Stress falls on LEN: ex-ce-LEN-te, and the final e is always pronounced.
