Today’s Spanish word of the day is “habitación”.
It’s a feminine noun meaning “room”, especially a bedroom or hotel room.
Other related words include:
- Cuarto – Room (used more frequently in Latin America)
- Dormitorio – Bedroom
“Habitación” is more formal than these alternatives, and often used in written or polite contexts.
The word “habitación” comes from the Latin verb habitare, meaning “to inhabit”, which is also the root of the English words “habit”, “inhabit” and “habitat”.
