frequency
📻🔁 Frecuencia ends in -encia, which maps to English -ency: frequency
It comes from Latin frequentia, meaning a crowd or a coming-together, from frequens, which meant packed or happening often. Spanish -encia matches English -ency (urgencia = urgency), and qu becomes cu, so frecuencia = frequency.
