Word origin
From Latin visitare 'to visit' (from visere 'to see'), with Spanish forming the noun visita from the verb to name the act of visiting.
Usage tips
- Because visita names both the act and the person who comes, Spanish often clarifies the role with hacer una visita (paying a visit) or recibir una visita (receiving a visitor).
