rumor

/ruˈmoɾ/ · B1 · noun · m

rumor

Same word as English rumor, from Latin rumor = noise, common talk

Spanish kept the Latin word unchanged. Stress falls on the last syllable: ru-MOR. It also covers a low continuous sound, as in el rumor del mar, the murmur of the sea, which is closer to the original Latin sense of noise.
