industria

/inˈdustɾja/ · B1 · noun · f

industry

🏭 Same Latin root as English industry: industria = diligence, hard work

From Latin industria, meaning diligence or steady effort. English kept the same word for both senses: a hard-working person shows industry, and factories make up an industry. In Spanish it is feminine: la industria.
