The Spanish word for 'mother,' often used in English when referring to Spanish-speaking mothers or cultures.
From Latin 'mater,' meaning mother. This root is shared across Romance languages (French 'mère,' Italian 'madre,' Spanish 'madre'). All descended from the ancient Latin word.
The word 'madre' sounds different in Spanish than in English, and Spanish speakers often roll the R—this small difference in pronunciation can make a word sound completely new to English ears, which is why accent and language feel so distinctly different.
