vegetariano

🥦🥕 vegetariano = vegetari(an) + o: from vegetal, plants, plus the -ario suffix
Spanish vegetariano comes from vegetal (plant) plus the suffix -iano, meaning a person tied to something. The first part, veget-, matches English vegetable, and the ending -ano marks the adjective or noun. So it means tied to plants.
