Bottom – el fondo

(Pronounced fohn-doh)

To remember that bottom is pronounced fohn-doh (fondo) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

At the bottom of the pond lived a beautiful fish – she was very fond of it after over (fondo) 20 years living there.

Fondo is masculine, so it's el fondo. Imagine an elephant falling into the bottom of a ravine and getting trapped.
