sastre
/ˈsastɾe/ · B2 · noun · mf
tailor
🧵✂️ sastre = sounds like 'sass-tray': a tailor sasses scissors across a tray of thread
From Latin sartor, 'patcher, mender', from sarcire 'to patch'. The Spanish word kept the sar- core, so sastre is the person who mends and makes clothes. Link the 'sas-' sound to 'sew' and 'stitch'.
