población
/poblaˈθjon/ · B1 · noun · f
population
🏘️👥 Etymology: Latin populus, people + -ción (-tion) = population
Spanish -ción matches English -tion, so población lines up with population. The same Latin populus gives pueblo (town, people) and popular, which is why población can mean both the people and the place they live, like a town or a neighbourhood.
