lavadora
/labaˈdoɾa/ · B2 · noun · f
washer
🧺 lavadora = lava (wash, like Latin lavare) + -dora (doer/machine suffix)
Lava- comes from Latin lavare, 'to wash', which is also the root of English lavatory and lavish. The suffix -dora marks a female-gender agent noun, so lavadora is literally 'the washer' (la máquina lavadora).
