madrina
/maˈdɾina/ · B2 · noun · f
godmother
🐴🔔 madrina = madre (mother) + -ina: a second 'mother' who leads
Madrina comes from Latin matrina, from mater (mother), so it's a 'mother-like' figure: a godmother who guides a child. The bell-mare sense fits too: the lead mare wearing a bell is the 'mother' the herd follows.
