lesión
/leˈsjon/ · B1 · noun · f
injury
🩹 Twin of English lesion: both come from Latin laedere, to hurt
Latin laesio meant a hurt or injury, from laedere, to strike or harm. Spanish uses lesión for everyday sports injuries, not only the medical sense: tiene una lesión en la rodilla means he has a knee injury. Like most -ión nouns, it is feminine: la lesión.
