salmon
🐟🍣 salmón = Spanish for salmon, from Latin salmo, 'the leaper' (salire = to leap)
Salmón comes from Latin salmo, linked to salire, 'to leap', because salmon leap up waterfalls. It looks almost identical to English salmon, so spell it with the accent: salmón. The same word names the pink-orange colour.
