pobre
/ˈpobɾe/ · A2 · adj
poor
🪙 pobre → poverty, pauper: same Latin root pauper, meaning poor
From Latin pauper, which also gave English poor, poverty, pauper and impoverish. Swap the Spanish b back to a p and the link is plain: pobre ~ pauper. Before a noun it means pitiable (pobre hombre); after it, lacking money.
