paralelo
/paɾaˈlelo/ · B2 · adj
parallel
📏 para + lelo: two lines that stay 'for' each other, side by side, never meeting
Spanish paralelo comes from Greek parallēlos, 'beside one another' (para = beside, allēlōn = each other). Notice the double L in the middle, 'll', which looks like two parallel lines standing side by side.
