fondo

/ˈfondo/ · A2 · noun · m

fund, funding

💰 fondo = fund + o; same Latin root (fundus, bottom) as English fund and profound

Latin fundus meant the bottom or base of something. English fund (a base of money) and profound (deep, toward the bottom) come from it too. So fondo covers the bottom, the back of a space, and a fund of money.
