taller

/taˈʝeɾ/ · B1 · noun · m

workshop

taller — workshop

🔧🎨 Borrowed from French atelier: an artist's studio or a workshop

Spanish took taller from French atelier, which came from Old French astelier, a carpenter's workshop where wood chips (astele) piled up. It is not the English word taller: here the ll sounds like y, so it is ta-YER.
