patience
⏳ paciencia = patience: English -ence becomes Spanish -encia
From Latin patientia, from pati, to suffer or endure. It is the same root as English patient. Spanish turns English -ence into -encia, as in ciencia (science) and paciencia (patience). Like most -encia nouns, it is feminine: la paciencia.
