veterano
/beteˈɾano/ · B1 · adj
veteran
🎖️ Cognate of veteran: from Latin vetus, old, the same root as veterinary
Spanish v sounds like b here, so it's said beh-teh-RAH-no. Like the English word, it comes from Latin veteranus, from vetus (old): someone with long service or experience. It's also the name of a small bird, the orange-cheeked waxbill.
