orgánico

/oɾˈɡaniko/ · B2 · adj

organic

🌱 orgánico = organ + ico (relating to) → of organs, organisms, living things

From Greek organon, meaning tool or instrument. The Spanish ending -ico means relating to, so orgánico describes anything tied to organs or living organisms, and by extension carbon-based compounds. Stress falls on the second syllable: or-GÁ-ni-co.
