genuino
/xeˈnwino/ · B2 · adj
genuine
💎 genuino ≈ genuine: same Latin genu 'knee', born on the father's knee = true-born
Spanish genuino looks almost like English genuine. Both come from Latin genuinus, tied to genu 'knee', from the old custom of a father accepting a newborn on his knee. Native, true, not fake. Say it as heh-NWEE-no.
