peligro

/peˈliɡɾo/ · A2 · noun · m

danger

⚠️ peligro = peril with the r and l swapped; both from Latin periculum

Latin periculum (trial, risk) became periglo in old Spanish, then the r and l traded places to give peligro. English peril comes from the same root via French, so the two words are cousins: pe-li-gro / pe-ri-l.
