metaphor
📖 metáfora = meta (change) + férein (carry): meaning carried to a new thing
From Greek metaphorá, built from meta (across, change) + phérein (to carry). A metaphor carries a word's meaning across to something else. Spanish still uses the Greek root in words like transferir, which also contains the carry idea.
