sobrino
/soˈbɾino/ · B1 · noun · m
nephew
👦 From Latin sobrinus, a sister's child: sobrino grew out of soror (sister)
Latin sobrinus first meant a cousin on the sister's side, built on soror (sister), the same root as English sorority. Spanish shifted it to mean nephew. Hook: sobrino = sorority kin, the boy who comes from your sibling.
