misil
/miˈsil/ · B1 · noun · m
projectile
🚀 Sounds like missile: Spanish just drops the -e and stresses the end, mi-SIL
From Latin missilis, throwable, from mittere, to send. The same root gives English mission, missive and emit. In Spanish the stress falls on the last syllable: mi-SIL, and it is masculine: el misil.
