exception
🦄 excepción = exception: Latin ex- (out) + capere (take), the one taken out
Ex- means out and -cept- comes from capere, to take. An excepción is the case pulled out of the group. Spanish writes the -pt- sound as -pc-: excepción, recepción, concepción. Feminine, like most -ción nouns: la excepción.
