inesperado
/inespeˈɾado/ · B1 · adj
unexpected
🎁 in + esperado = not + expected (esperar = to wait for, to expect)
Esperar means both to wait and to expect, so esperado is what you were waiting for. Add the negative prefix in- and you get something you never saw coming. English shares the root: desperate comes from de- + sperare, to be without hope.
