huella
/ˈw̝eʝa/ · A2 · noun · f
footprint
👣 huella sounds like WAY-ya: the way ya went is marked by your footprints
From the verb hollar, to tread or trample: a huella is what treading leaves behind. Spanish reuses it for the mark a fingertip leaves, so huella dactilar (or huella digital) is a fingerprint. The h is silent.
