senador
/senaˈdoɾ/ · B1 · noun · m
senator
🏛️ senador = senator with -dor; same Latin root senex, old man
Nearly identical to English senator: swap -tor for Spanish -dor, as in doctor/actor cousins like orador or creador. Both come from Latin senex (old), the same root as senior and senile. A senate was originally a council of elders.
