ruidoso

/rwiˈdoso/ · B2 · adj

loud, noisy

📢 ruidoso = ruido (noise, from Latin rugitus, roaring) + -oso (full of)

Ruido means noise, and the suffix -oso works like English -ous or -y, meaning full of. So ruidoso is literally noise-full. The same suffix appears in sabroso (tasty) and peligroso (dangerous).
