paradero
/paɾaˈdeɾo/ · B2 · noun · m
whereabouts
🚏 para- (stops) + -dero (place) = a place where things stop: bus stop
Paradero comes from the verb parar (to stop) plus the place-noun ending -dero. So it is literally a stopping place. That explains both senses: a bus stop and, more broadly, where someone or something has ended up (whereabouts).
