mujer
/muˈxeɾ/ · A1 · noun · f
woman
👩 From Latin mulier (woman) — same root as Italian moglie, wife
Latin mulier became mujer as the li sound shifted to Spanish j, the same change that turned filius into hijo. Like Italian moglie, it also means wife: mi mujer = my wife. Stress falls on the last syllable: mu-HER.
