The current form of the word may partly be a back-formation of relojes, plural of obsolete reloje, which better conforms with the Catalan source and would explain the final j, which is rare in Spanish. Cognate with Old Galician-Portuguese relojo, Portuguese relógio, Greek ρολόι (rolói), French horloge, Italian orologio and Romanian orologiu. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /reˈlox/ [reˈlox], /reˈlo/ [reˈlo] Rhymes: -ox, -o IPA(key): /reˈloʃ/ [reˈloʃ] (Early Modern Spanish) Rhymes: -oʃ Syllabification: re‧loj === Noun === reloj m (plural relojes) clock Synonym: (Isleño) pandil watch, wristwatch Synonyms: reloj de pulsera, (colloquial) peluco ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Chavacano: reloj → Cebuano: relo → Cebuano: relo → Ilocano: reloó → Kapampangan: relu → Pangasinan: relo → Portuguese: relógio → Tagalog: relo, relos === References === === Further reading === reloj on the Spanish Wikipedia.Wikipedia es “reloj”, 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
