heroico

/eˈɾoiko/ · B2 · adj

heroic

🦸 heroico = heroe (hero) + ico, the adjective ending: hero-like, heroic

Spanish héroe comes from Greek hērōs, meaning hero or demigod. Add the adjective suffix -ico, like English -ic, and you get heroico: heroic. Spot the English twin by swapping -ico for -ic, then dropping the final o of hero.
