región
/reˈxjon/ · B1 · noun · f
region
🗺️ Latin regio, from regere, to rule: a region is the area a ruler governs
Same root as Spanish regir (to govern) and rey (king). Spell it like English region, but say the g as a throaty j sound (re-HYON) and put an accent on the o. It is feminine: la región.
