The common Spanish abrir, for “open”, comes from the Latin for the same, aperio.

From the same root — in an “ahhhh!” moment — is the English, aperture, the opening of the camera. The sort of word you learn if you ever try to figure out how to use an analog camera!

The a‑b of abrir maps to the a‑p of aperture, with the “b” and “p” being often and easiliy exchanged.
