profesor

/pɾofeˈsoɾ/ · A2 · noun · m

professor

👨‍🏫 profesor = English professor with one s; one who professes knowledge

From Latin professor, one who declares openly (profiteri = to profess). Spanish keeps a single s and stresses the last syllable: pro-fe-SOR. Unlike English, it covers any teacher, not just university faculty.
