intimidad

/intimiˈdad/ · B2 · noun · f

familiarity

🤫 intimidad = intimate + -dad (like -ity): the state of being intimate

From Latin intimus, 'innermost'. Spanish -dad matches English -ity, so intimidad is intim(acy) with a Spanish ending. Don't confuse it with English 'intimidate': it means closeness and privacy, not scaring someone.
