The Spanish word 'leída' is the feminine past participle form of the verb 'leer' (to read). This verb traces back to the Latin word 'legere', which meant 'to read' or 'to choose'. The Latin 'legere' evolved into Spanish 'leer' through regular sound changes, and 'leída' is formed by adding the feminine past participle ending '-ida' to the verb stem.

The most obvious related Spanish word is the infinitive 'leer' (to read), which is one of the most common verbs in Spanish. You'll also encounter related forms like 'leo' (I read), 'leyendo' (reading), and 'lector' (reader). All these words share the same Latin root 'legere' and maintain the core meaning of reading.

While English 'read' is not related to Spanish 'leída', there are some English words that come from the same Latin root 'legere'. These include 'legible' (able to be read), 'legend' (originally meaning 'text to be read'), 'lecture' (a reading or speech), and 'intelligent' (from Latin 'inter-legere', meaning 'to choose between'). The connection between reading, choosing, and understanding is preserved in these English derivatives.
