sexo

/ˈseɡso/ · A2 · noun · m

sexual activity

From Latin sexus, same root as English sex; the x is said gs: SEG-so

Spanish sexo and English sex both come from Latin sexus, so the meaning carries over whole: the category, the group, and the act. Just add the masculine -o ending and stress the first syllable: SEG-so.
