familia

/faˈmilja/ · A1 · noun · f

family

👪 familia = family: same Latin root, just swap the -y for -ia

From Latin familia, household, itself from famulus, servant: originally everyone under one roof. English family is the same word, so the meaning comes free. Stress the middle: fa-MI-lia. It can also mean a single relative.
