luz
/ˈluθ/ · A1 · noun · f
light
💡 luz = Latin lux, as in lucid and Lucifer (light-bringer)
From Latin lux/lucem, the root of English lucid, translucent and elucidate. Spanish turned the Latin -c- into -z, the same shift as pax → paz and vox → voz. Dar a luz, literally give to light, means to give birth.
