banco

bank; bench

noun BAHN-koh Less Common

Usage Note

Banco covers both a financial institution and a physical bench or pew, which can cause amusing confusion in context. The compound banco de datos means 'data bank', and banco de sangre is 'blood bank'. In fishing contexts, banco de peces is a shoal of fish.

Examples

"Necesito ir al banco hoy."

Natural Translation

I need to go to the bank today.
