hora

/ˈoɾa/ · A1 · noun · f

hour

⏰ hora = hour with the h silent: Latin hora, same root as horoscope

English hour came from the same Latin hora, and both keep a silent h. Say OH-ra. The root shows up in horoscope and horology (clock-making), so hora covers both the sixty-minute hour and clock time: ¿Qué hora es?
