pureza
/puˈɾeθa/ · B2 · noun · f
purity
💧 pureza = pure + za, sounds like 'poor-ETH-ah' — poor in anything but clean
Pureza comes from Latin pūrus (clean, unmixed) plus the Spanish suffix -eza, which turns adjectives into nouns of quality, like English -ness. So pure + -eza = pure-ness, or purity. Same pattern: belleza (beauty), tristeza (sadness).
