session
noun seh-SYOHN Less Common

sitting
Usage Note
Sesión loses its accent in the plural sesiones due to the stress shift. It covers parliamentary sittings, film screenings (sesión de tarde = 'afternoon showing'), therapy appointments, and recording sessions. It is a true cognate of English 'session', including its computing sense.
Examples
"La sesión parlamentaria duró tres horas."
Natural Translation
