Today’s Spanish word of the day is “información”.
It’s a feminine noun meaning “information”, though it can also translate as “news” in some contexts.
It’s one of the many Spanish nouns ending in -ción that are identical (or nearly identical) to their English counterparts except for the change from English -tion to Spanish –ción. A few others include the following:
- Situación – Situation

Like the English word “information”, Spanish “información” comes from Latin informatio, which meant “concept”.
