situación
/sitwaˈθjon/ · A2 · noun · f
situation
situación = sitio (place) + -ción: where things are placed, how they stand
From Latin situs, meaning place or position, the same root as Spanish sitio and English site. The ending -ción matches English -tion, so the word is a near-twin of situation. Feminine, like all -ción nouns: la situación.
