césped

lawn

noun SEHS-ped Rare
Animals & Nature Plants

Origin: From Latin caespitem (turf, sod).

Also means

turf

Usage Note

Césped carries a written accent on the first syllable — an unusual pattern in Spanish. Its plural céspedes shifts the accent to the same syllable, keeping it regular. It refers both to the grass surface (a lawn) and, in sports contexts, the playing field (el césped del estadio).

Examples

"El césped del jardín está verde."

Natural Translation

The garden lawn is green.
