escorpión
/eskoɾˈpjon/ · B2 · noun · m
scorpio
🦂 escorpión sounds like escort-pi-on: a stinging escort on your tail
Say es-kor-pee-ON: the ending is like English scorpion. The word comes from Latin scorpio, so Spanish keeps the same shape, adds an initial e- before sc-, and also names the zodiac sign Escorpio or Escorpión.
