oración
/oɾaˈθjon/ · B1 · noun · f
sentence
📝 From Latin oratio (speech), from orare, to speak; same root as oral and oration
Latin orare meant to speak, and later to pray, so oración also means prayer. Link it to oral: an oración is a unit of speech, which in grammar means a sentence or clause. The -ción ending matches English -tion.
