náusea
/ˈnausea/ · B2 · noun · f
nausea
🤢 náusea sounds like NOW-see-uh: now you see why you feel sick
Spanish náusea is nearly identical to English nausea, from Greek nautia, seasickness (naus = ship). Say it NOW-seh-ah and link it to ship-sickness. It also extends to disgust or repugnance, as in me da náuseas.
