vigilancia
/bixiˈlanθja/ · B1 · noun · f
watchfulness
👀 vigil + -ancia (= English -ance): vigilancia is vigilance, from Latin vigil
Latin vigil meant awake or watchful, as in a night vigil. Spanish -ancia matches English -ance, so the word lines up with vigilance. Note the sound: the g is a soft throaty h (bi-hi-LAN-thya), so it does not sound like English vigil.
