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.
