tumor

/tuˈmoɾ/ · B1 · noun · m

tumor

Same word as English: tumor, from Latin tumere, to swell

Spanish and English both took tumor from Latin, where it meant a swelling. Only the stress moves: Spanish says tu-MOR, with the weight on the last syllable. It is masculine, so el tumor, and the plural is los tumores.
