excepcional
/eɡsθebθjoˈnal/ · B2 · adj
exceptional
🏆 ex + cepción = taken out of the usual, so exceptional; like English except
From Latin exceptio, from excipere: ex (out) + capere (to take). Something excepcional has been taken out of the ordinary group. Spanish -cional matches English -tional, so excepcional maps straight onto exceptional.
