respeto
/resˈpeto/ · A2 · noun · m
respect
respeto = re (back) + specere (to look): to look back at someone, to regard
From Latin respectus, the same root as English respect, so the two words are near-twins. Spanish drops the c and adds a final o: respect → respeto. Note that respecto (with c) also exists, but means regard, as in con respecto a.
