sofisticado
/sofistiˈkado/ · B2 · adj
sophisticated
🎩🍷 Cognate: sofisticado = sophisticated (Spanish spells ph as f, -ated as -ado)
It comes from the Greek sophistes, a wise man or clever arguer, and also gives filosofía. The ph becomes f, as in foto and teléfono, and English -ated becomes -ado. Stress falls on KA: so-fis-ti-KA-do.
