tímido
/ˈtimido/ · B1 · adj
shy, timid, bashful, coy
🙈 Tímido = timid; both come from Latin timere, to fear
Spanish tímido and English timid share the Latin root timidus, from timere (to fear), so the meaning carries straight across. Put the stress on the first syllable: TÍ-mi-do. Use tímida for a woman.
