tesoro

/teˈsoɾo/ · A2 · noun · m

treasure

tesoro — treasure

💰 tesoro = treasure: same Latin root thesaurus, a storehouse of valuables

Spanish tesoro and English treasure both come from Latin thesaurus (Greek thesauros, storehouse). Drop the h and swap -aurus for -oro. A thesaurus is literally a treasury of words, which is why tesoro covers that meaning too.
