vistazo
/bisˈtaθo/ · A2 · noun · m
expression
👀 vistazo = vista (sight, view) + -azo (one quick hit): a hit of sight
Vista comes from ver, to see, like English vista. The suffix -azo marks a single sudden blow, as in portazo (door slam). So a vistazo is one quick strike of the eyes: a glance. Common in echar un vistazo, to take a look.
