sargento
/saɾˈxento/ · A2 · noun · mf
sergeant
🪖 sargento = sergeant: same word, from Latin serviens, one who serves
Both words come from Latin serviens (serving) via Old French sergent. Spanish turned the er into ar and added -o. Note the g sounds like a harsh h: sar-HEN-to. Same form for a man or woman: el sargento, la sargento.
