Attached: 1 image "Computador" or "computadora" (informally "compu") is the Spanish equivalent of the English word "computer" (from the Latin "computator.)Another term used in Spanish, specifically in Spain, borrowed from French "ordinateur" (from Latin ordinātor), is "ordenador."

A clipping is a shortening of a word: for example, hippo from hippopotamus. The longer comes from Ancient Greek ἱπποπόταμος (hippopótamos): Formed by ἵππος (híppos, “horse”) and ποταμός (potamós, “river”).
