síntoma

/ˈsintoma/ · B1 · noun · m

symptom

🌡️ síntoma = symptom + a; Greek syn- together + ptoma a fall

From Greek sýmptōma, a thing that falls together with something else, so a sign that comes with an illness. Spanish swaps the y for í and keeps the Greek -a ending, but the noun is masculine: el síntoma.
