pervertido

/peɾbeɾˈtido/ · B1 · adj

perverted

Cognate: pervertido = perverted, from Latin per + vertere, to turn askew

Latin pervertere meant to turn something the wrong way or overturn it. The same root vert- (turn) gives Spanish convertir and invertir. Swap English -ed for Spanish -ido and you have pervertido.
