Spanish 'embarazada' doesn't mean embarrassed, and that gap has a name

Words that look or sound alike across languages but mean different things are called false friends, and they're a classic trap for learners and translators. 'Embarazada' means pregnant, not embarrassed; French 'librairie' means bookshop, not library. Linguists study these mismatches because they reveal how languages drift apart after sharing a common root.
