lisiado

/liˈsjado/ · B2 · adj

crippled

🦽 lisiado ≈ 'lees-YAH-do' → sounds like 'lease-ya-dough': lease paid, legs no go

Say lee-SYAH-do and link it to 'lesion', which is a damaged spot in the body. Both come from the Latin laesus, meaning hurt or injured. So lisiado is someone left with a lasting injury, crippled.
