sesión

session

noun seh-SYOHN Less Common

Origin: From Latin sessio (a sitting)

Also means

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

The parliamentary session lasted three hours.
