🏛️📜 tradicional = tradición + -al, same Latin root as English traditional

Latin traditio means a handing over, from tradere, to hand down. Spanish puts -al on tradición and English does the same, so the two words line up almost letter for letter. Note the c: Spanish spells it tradi-c-ional, English tradi-t-ional.
