mecánico

/meˈkaniko/ · B1 · adj

mechanic

🔧 mecánico = mechanic; both come from Greek mēchanē, machine

Spanish keeps the Greek root: mecánico comes from mēchanikós, meaning of machines. Stress falls on the CÁ, like the English word: me-CÁ-ni-co. It works as an adjective (mechanical) and as a noun (a mechanic).
