raíz
/raˈiθ/ · B1 · noun · f
root
🌱🥕 Latin radix gave us raíz, radish and eradicate (to rip out by the root)
Radish means root vegetable, and eradicate means pulling something out by its roots. Radical once meant going to the root of a thing. Say ra-ÍZ with the stress on the í: the accent splits it into two syllables.
