/Sounds like the English word "parking" (same pronunciation)/
A parking lot or place to leave your car, taken straight from English with zero adaptation. The anglicism that Spain, Argentina, and Colombia adopted to refer to the spot where you park.
“I left the car in the mall parking.”
“The parking costs a fortune.”
