kilometer
📏 kiló + metro = Greek khilioi (thousand) + metron (measure): 1000 metres
Same build as English kilometre: kilo- means a thousand, metro means metre. Spanish stresses the LO (ki-LÓ-me-tro), marked by the accent, just like the American stress in ki-LOM-eter. Abbreviated km in both languages.
