injusticia

/inxusˈtiθja/ · B2 · noun · f

injustice

⚖️ in- (not) + justicia (justice) = not justice; injustice

Break it into in- meaning not, plus justicia, which looks just like English justice. Add the negating prefix and you get injustice. Same pattern as English: just, unjust. The Spanish j sounds like a throaty h: een-hoos-TEE-thya.
