suficiente

/sufiˈθjente/ · A1 · adj

sufficient, enough

suficiente = sufficient: same Latin root, -ent becomes -ente

From Latin sufficiens, the same source as English sufficient. Swap the English ending -ent for Spanish -ente and soften the c to a th or s sound: su-fi-CIEN-te. Stress falls on CIEN.
