frustration
😤 frustración = frustrar (to thwart) + -ción (noun ending); sounds like frustration
Spanish frustración comes from Latin frustrari, meaning to deceive or thwart. The -ción ending is the same as English -tion, so the word is nearly identical. Remember the feeling of being thwarted: your goal is blocked, so frustración builds.
