sistema

/sisˈtema/ · A2 · noun · m

system

sistema — system

⚙️ Greek systema = syn (together) + histanai (to set up): parts set together

Same Greek root as English system, so the meaning carries over directly. Watch the gender: it ends in -a but is masculine (el sistema), like other Greek-origin -ma nouns such as el problema, el tema and el idioma.
