leader
líder = English leader, borrowed and respelled the Spanish way
Spanish took the English word leader in the 19th century and respelled it to match its own sounds: LEE-dehr. The accent on the í marks the stress on the first syllable, just as in English. Related: liderar (to lead), liderazgo (leadership).
