refrigerador
/refɾixeɾaˈdoɾ/ · B2 · adj
refrigerator
🧊 refrigerador = refrigerate + -dor (the one that does it): the cooler
Same Latin root as English refrigerate: re- (again) + frigus (cold), so it means making something cold again. The Spanish ending -dor marks the thing that does the action, like ventilador (fan). The word works as an adjective too: cooling.
