ángeles

The Spanish word for 'angels' is 'ángeles'. It is a common noun used in religious contexts to refer to celestial beings that are considered messengers of God.

Like in English, it can also be employed to depict symbolic or metaphorical angels in art, literature, and popular culture. Note that in Spanish, nouns have gender and 'ángeles' is masculine despite the feminine-looking 'a' marker. Therefore it can be used to refer to angels of any gender.
