sexualidad

/seɡswaliˈdad/ · B2 · noun · f

sex

sexo (sex) + -ualidad (-uality) = sexualidad, the state of being sexual

Built from Latin sexus plus the Spanish suffix -idad, which matches English -ity. Swap -idad for -ity and you get sexuality. Sound it out in chunks: sex-wa-li-DAD, with stress on the last syllable.
