fácil

/ˈfaθil/ · A1 · adv

easy, facile, simple

fácil = facile: from Latin facilis, doable, from facere (to do)

Latin facere (to do, make) gave facilis: doable, so easy. English kept the same root in facile, facility and facilitate (to make easy). The opposite, difícil, matches English difficult.
