hazaña

== Spanish == === Alternative forms === fazaña (dated) === Etymology === Inherited from Old Spanish fazaña, façaña, from Arabic حَسَنَة (ḥasana, “good deed, alms”), via Andalusian Arabic. Cognate with Portuguese façanha (which may be a borrowing from Hispano-Romance anyway). Coromines and Pascual suggest influence of Old Spanish fazer, from Latin facere. Such a derivation would help explain the voiced /dz/ of the Old Spanish term, already attested with -z- in the 12th and 13th centuries, including its first attestation by 1150. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /aˈθaɲa/ [aˈθa.ɲa] (Spain) IPA(key): /aˈsaɲa/ [aˈsa.ɲa] (Latin America, Philippines) Rhymes: -aɲa Syllabification: ha‧za‧ña === Noun === hazaña f (plural hazañas) feat; deed Synonyms: gesta, acción, hombrada ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “hazaña”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025
