madre
/ˈmadɾe/ · A1 · noun · f
mother
👩👦 madre = Latin mater, same root as maternal and English mother
Spanish madre comes from Latin mater, the root behind maternal, maternity and matrix. Latin t softened to d between vowels, giving madre. English mother is a distant cousin from the same ancient root, so the m-d-r frame matches m-th-r.
