látigo
/ˈlatiɡo/ · B2 · noun · m
whip
🪢 látigo sounds like LA-tee-go: a whip makes the air go 'tee-GO!' as cattle move on
Say la-TEE-go with a sharp snap on the middle syllable, like the crack of a whip. Then link it to 'go': a látigo is used to make animals go. The sound and the purpose are tied together.
