suspension
The Spanish word 'suspensión' translates to 'suspension' in English. In both languages, it can refer to the temporary prevention of something, often as a punishment (like a player's suspension from a game), or a system of springs and shock absorbers by which a vehicle is cushioned from road conditions. As you can see, some words have the same meaning in different languages, which can make learning a new language a bit easier!
