extracción

/eɡstɾaɡˈθjon/ · B2 · noun · f

extraction, lineage

⛏️ extracción = ex- (out) + tracción (pulling): a pulling out

From Latin extractio: ex- 'out' + trahere 'to pull'. Pulling a tooth, ore, or oil out is extracción. Family lineage works the same way: the stock you were drawn out of, your origin.
