Plural of amiga; female friends or female companions (from Spanish).
From Spanish 'amigas,' plural feminine of 'amigo,' from Latin 'amicus' (friend). Borrowed into English through contact with Spanish-speaking communities, especially in the American Southwest and modern multicultural contexts.
While 'amie' comes from French culture, 'amigas' entered English more recently through Spanish, showing how English continuously borrows friend-words from languages we interact with, like a friendship scrapbook of our cultural connections.
Spanish feminine plural of 'amigo' (friend). Gendered form specifies female friends, while 'amigos' can include mixed or all-male groups.
In English, use 'friends.' In Spanish, use 'amigos/amigas' only when gender is relevant; otherwise 'amigos' for mixed groups or unspecified.
