héroe

/ˈeɾoe/ · A2 · noun · m

hero

héroe — hero

🦸 héroe = hero + e: silent h, say EH-ro-eh, three syllables

From Greek hērōs via Latin heros, the same root as English hero. Spanish drops the h sound and adds a final e, so every vowel is voiced: é-ro-e. The accent mark shows the stress falls on the first syllable.
