justo

/ˈxusto/ · A1 · adv

just

⚖️ justo = just: same Latin root (iustus), same two senses, fair and exactly

From Latin iustus, lawful or fair, the source of English just and justice. English just also means exactly (just right, just in time), and justo does the same: justo a tiempo = just in time. Spanish j is a throaty h, so say HOOS-toh.
