comedian

comediante — comedian

🎤🎭 comedia (comedy) + -ante (one who does) = comediante, one who performs comedy

Spanish comedia means comedy or play, and the suffix -ante marks a person who does something, like English -ant or -er. Comedia + -ante gives comediante: the one who performs comedy. It looks almost identical to the English word comedian, so the meaning transfers directly.
