voto
/ˈboto/ · A2 · noun · m
vote
🗳️ voto = vote; Spanish v sounds like b, so say BOH-toh
From Latin votum, a solemn promise, which gave English both vote and vow. One Spanish word keeps both senses: a voto at the ballot box and a voto made as a religious vow. English devoted comes from the same root.
