mamá
One who birthed
Mamá is Spanish for mother, used by Spanish speakers and often borrowed into English in bilingual communities or for affectionate emphasis.
The accent mark distinguishes it from mama, though both function similarly as informal, intimate terms for one's mother: Mamá, can I go outside?
