discoteca
Place for dancing
Discoteca is the Spanish and Italian word for a nightclub or disco—a venue for dancing to recorded music.
In English, it appears in contexts referencing Latin American or European nightlife, often retaining foreign flavor: We hit every discoteca in Barcelona.
The word combines disco with the suffix -teca (place for), like biblioteca (library).
