rosquilla
/rosˈkiʝa/ · B2 · noun · f
ring
🍩 rosquilla sounds like 'rose-KEE-ya': a ring-shaped sweet, like a rosca (ring) + -illa (little)
Rosquilla comes from rosca, meaning ring or coil, plus the diminutive -illa, so it literally means little ring. The ring shape is the clue to the doughnut meaning. Link rosca to rosquilla and the root stays easy to recall.
