terror
/teˈroɾ/ · B1 · noun · m
panic
👻 Same word as English terror, stressed at the end: te-RROR
From Latin terror, from terrere, to frighten. English shares the root, so the meaning is the same. Only the sound changes: roll the double r and put the stress on the last syllable. It is masculine: el terror, and una película de terror is a horror film.
