táctica

/ˈtaɡtika/ · B1 · noun · f

tactic

♟️ Táctica = tactic + a; from Greek taktikē, the art of arranging troops

Almost identical to English tactic, plus the feminine -a. Note the written c is pronounced like a soft g: TAG-tee-ka. Both come from Greek taktikos, about putting soldiers in order, as in a chess plan.
