Today’s Spanish word of the day is “junto” in the masculine form, or “junta” in the feminine form.
It means “together” or “next to”, and can be used as an adjective or adverb.
It’s worth pointing out that there is also a feminine noun, “junta”, which means “council”, “board” or “committee”.
The word “junto” comes from Latin iunctus from the Latin verb iungere meaning “to join together”, from which we also get several English words including “juncture”, “junction” and “joint”.
