hidrógeno

hydrogen
💧🎈 hidro- (water) + -geno (producer): the element that produces water when burned
From Greek hydro (water) + genes (producing). Hydrogen burns with oxygen to form water. Spanish hidro- shows up in hidratar and hidráulico, and the -geno ending in oxígeno and nitrógeno. The h is silent, so it starts with ee-DROH-heh-noh.
