software
💻 soft + ware: the soft, untouchable goods of a computer, versus hard hardware
Software is borrowed from English: soft + ware (goods). Hardware is the hard, physical part you can touch; software is the soft part, the instructions that tell it what to do. Spanish says it like soft-weir, with a soft d sound.
