micro
/ˈmikɾo/ · B2 · noun · m
public bus
🚌 micro = short for 'microbús', the small bus that became the everyday bus
In Spanish (notably Chile, Bolivia, Mexico), micro is a clipped form of microbús, from Greek mikros 'small' + bus. The small size in the name stuck even for regular public buses. Don't confuse it with English 'micro' meaning tiny.
