también

/tamˈbjen/ · A1 · adv

also, too, as well

también = tan + bien: as well, built from as (tan) + well (bien)

Old Spanish fused tan (as, so) and bien (well) into one word, and English as well is the same recipe piece for piece. The n turned into m before the b, which is why it is spelled tam- and not tan-.
