suerte
/ˈsweɾte/ · A1 · noun · f
fortune
🍀 From Latin sors, sortem (lot, fate) - same root as English sort
Latin sors meant a lot drawn to decide your fate. Spanish kept both senses: suerte is luck, and also a sort or kind, just as English sort comes from the same word. Sound hook: SWEHR-teh, like swear to luck.
