estación

season

noun ehs-tah-SYOHN Common

Origin: From Latin statio (a standing place).

Also means

station

Usage Note

Estación covers both meanings a learner needs: the four seasons (las estaciones del año) and a transport station (estación de tren/metro). Context disambiguates cleanly. Note the written accent on the final syllable: without it the word would be stressed differently. The plural estaciones keeps the accent.

Examples

"La estación de tren está cerca."

Natural Translation

The train station is nearby.
