llanta
/ˈʝanta/ · B2 · noun · f
rim
🛞 llanta sounds like YAHN-tah: a wheel that yanks the car along
Say YAHN-tah and link the yank sound to a wheel pulling a car forward. Spanish llanta (tyre, wheel rim) is thought to come from French plante or Latin planta via a flat sole-like shape, so it is the part that meets the ground.
