Spanish word meaning 'good' (feminine plural); used in phrases like 'buenas noches' (good night) or 'buenas tardes' (good afternoon).
From Latin 'bonus' meaning good. This is the Spanish feminine plural form of the adjective. Latin roots in Spanish adjectives often match the gender and number of the noun they modify.
Spanish is the world's second most-spoken language, and 'buenas' shows how Spanish adjectives have to match their noun's gender and number in a way English doesn't—'good night' is simple, but 'buenas noches' requires the adjective to agree with 'noches' (feminine plural).
