largo (Espagnol) signifie « long » · large (Français) signifie « wide »
Same Latin LARGUM 'abundant'. French large is 'wide' (and English large 'big' came from it); Spanish largo is 'long'.
largo (Espagnol) signifie « long » · largo (Italien) signifie « wide »
Both from Latin LARGUM 'abundant, generous'. Italian (with French large) turned 'ample' into 'wide'; Spanish into 'long', leaving 'wide' to ancho (AMPLUM).
