Spanish does this constantly, you think you’re about to learn a whole new word and it’s just English wearing a mustache

Lmao as a native spanish speaker you are right. Another example is car, which in some places is called "carro".

Spanish keeps reminding you that the “right” word can change the second you cross a border

Yup. Another word which is used a lot for cars is "Automóvil" or just "Auto", and we also have "coche" if you're from Spain.
