igual

/iˈɡwal/ · A1 · adv

just like

⚖️ igual = equal: both from Latin aequalis, with the qu softened to g

Latin aequalis gave English equal and Spanish igual. Swap the g back to qu and you nearly have the English word. The adverb senses follow: doing it igual means doing it equally, and me da igual means it is all equal to me.
