directiva
/diɾeɡˈtiba/ · B2 · noun · f
directorate
👔🏢 directiva = direct + -iva: the group that directs the company
Spanish directiva comes from dirigir (to direct) plus the suffix -iva, meaning the people who direct. Think of the English cognate directive: the board is the body that issues the directives. Sounds like dee-rek-TEE-bah.
