Usage Note
Ancho works both as a masculine noun (el ancho de la calle — the width of the street) and as an adjective meaning 'wide' (una avenida ancha). As a noun it is regularly masculine. The idiom a sus anchas means 'at ease' or 'comfortably,' which learners often find surprising.
Examples
"El ancho del río es considerable."
Natural Translation
The width of the river is considerable.
