positivo
/posiˈtibo/ · B1 · adj
positive
➕👍 Positivo = positive with an -o ending; same Latin root, same meaning
From Latin positivus, from ponere, to place or lay down. Many English words ending in -ive become -ivo in Spanish: positive → positivo, active → activo, creative → creativo. The stress lands on -TI-: po-si-TI-vo.
