vulnerable

/bulneˈɾable/ · B1 · adj

vulnerable

🛡️💔 Latin vulnus = wound: vulnerable is able to be wounded

Spanish and English share the Latin root vulnus, a wound, plus -able. In Spanish the v sounds like b: bul-ne-RA-ble, stress on RA. Same spelling, same meaning, so only the pronunciation needs learning.
