procedimiento
/pɾoθediˈmjento/ · B1 · noun · m
procedure
📋 procedimiento = proceder (to proceed) + -miento (-ment): a proceeding
It comes from Latin procedere, to go forward. Spanish -miento works like English -ment, turning a verb into a noun, so procedimiento is the way you proceed: a procedure or method. In law it also means proceedings.
