línea
/ˈlinea/ · A2 · noun · f
line
📏 línea = English line + a; both from Latin linea, a linen thread
Latin linea meant a string made of linum (flax, linen), stretched tight to mark something straight. Spanish kept the word almost intact, so línea, line and linen are all one family. Stress the first syllable: LEE-neh-ah.
