lluvia
/ˈʝubja/ · A2 · noun · f
rain
🌧️☔ From Latin pluvia (rain): pl- became ll-, same root as English pluvial
Latin pl- regularly turned into Spanish ll-: pluvia → lluvia, plenus → lleno, plorare → llorar. English kept the Latin form in pluvial (rainy) and pluviometer (rain gauge). Feminine: la lluvia; the verb is llover.
