pure, clear

💧🚬 puro = pure, from Latin purus; nothing mixed in, so only or mere

Spanish puro and English pure both come from Latin purus, meaning clean or unmixed. If something is pure, it is only itself, which is why puro also means just or mere. A puro is also a cigar, because it is rolled from pure tobacco leaf only.
