Bueno

/ˈbwɛno/ adjective

Definition

Spanish word meaning good or well; often used in English to express agreement or approval.

Etymology

From Latin 'bonus' meaning good. It's the Spanish form that has been borrowed into English slang and informal speech.

Kelly Says

The Spanish 'bueno' has the exact same Latin root as English 'bonus'—both languages inherited the word thousands of years ago, which is why good things in Latin became bonuses in both languages!
