venganza
/benˈɡanθa/ · B1 · noun · f
vengeance
vengar (to avenge) + -anza = vengeance; same Latin root, vindicare
From Latin vindicare, which gave English vengeance, avenge and vindicate. Spanish v sounds like b, so it starts ben-GAN-tha. The ending -anza makes nouns from verbs, as in esperanza (hope) and enseñanza (teaching).
