Definition in Spanish

Word origin
From Latin lingua 'tongue, language' plus the adjective-forming suffix -isticus via Medieval Latin, yielding an adjective meaning relating to the study of language.
Usage tips
- The diaeresis (ü) shows the u is pronounced after g (lingüístico has a 'gw' sound), and the word is mainly academic so speakers often say del idioma or de la lengua in casual contexts.
