contagioso
/kontaˈxjoso/ · B2 · adj
contagious
🦠 contagioso = con (together) + tag (touch) — spread by touching
Spanish contagioso comes from Latin contagio, from con- (together) + tangere (to touch). Sounds like English contagious, which has the same Latin root: spread through contact. Think of the shared 'tag' in tangere and contact.
