lámpara
/ˈlampaɾa/ · B1 · noun · f
lamp
💡🔦 Lámpara = lamp + -ara; from Greek lampas, torch, from lampein, to shine
English lamp comes from the same Greek root, lampein, to shine. In Spanish it covers any light you switch on or carry, so torch and flashlight too. Colloquially, a shiny grease spot on clothing is also called una lámpara.
