El radiador
Example: El radiador del coche se calentó durante el viaje largo.
Definition
A 'radiator' is a device used in engineering to transfer heat from one medium to another, commonly found in vehicles to dissipate engine heat and prevent overheating during operation.
Etymology
The word 'radiator' comes from the Latin 'radiātor,' meaning 'one who radiates,' derived from 'radius,' which means 'ray.' It was adopted into English and Spanish to describe devices that radiate or emit heat, a fitting term for the heat-dissipating function of a 'radiador.'
