nudo

knot
🪢 Two Latin roots: nodus (knot, as in node) and nudus (nude)
As a noun, nudo comes from Latin nodus, which also gave English node: a nudo is a knot, and the ship speed unit too. As an adjective, it comes from Latin nudus, so it means nude. Everyday Spanish usually says desnudo for naked.
