sufrimiento

/sufɾiˈmjento/ · B1 · noun · m

agony

😣 sufrimiento = sufrir (to suffer) + -miento (the act of), like English -ment

From Latin sufferre, to bear up under: sub (under) + ferre (to carry). The suffix -miento turns a verb into a noun, much like -ment does in English, so the word is literally the act of suffering.
