hoja
/ˈoxa/ · B1 · noun · f
leaf
🍃 From Latin folia, like foliage: Latin f became silent Spanish h
Latin folia (leaves) gave English foliage and Spanish hoja. Spanish turned initial f into a silent h (as in farina to harina) and li into j. Say it OH-ha. It also means a sheet of paper, just as English says leaf of a book.
