oral
/oˈɾal/ · B2 · adj
oral
🗣️ oral = or-al: from Latin os, oris 'mouth' — speech by mouth
Spanish oral comes from Latin os, oris (mouth), the same root as English oral. It describes things done by mouth, like a spoken exam (examen oral). Say the word aloud: the or- at the start matches the mouth root in oral.
