juicio

/ˈxwiθjo/ · A2 · noun · m

opinion

⚖️ juicio = Latin iudicium, same root as judicial and judge

From Latin iudicium (ius 'law' + dicere 'to say'). Spanish turned Latin i- into j-, so judicial, judge and juicio are cousins. Tener juicio means to have good sense; perder el juicio is to lose your reason.
