fabricar
/fabɾiˈkaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to manufacture
🏭🔨 fabricar sounds like fabricate: to make or build something, not just lies
Both come from Latin fabrica, workshop, from faber, craftsman. A fábrica in Spanish is a factory, so fabricar is what happens there. English fabricate kept the sense of making up a story, but in Spanish the main meaning is still making real things.
