agorar

Spanish

Etymology

Either from Vulgar Latin *agurāre, from Latin augurāre, in which case the maintenance of /o/ (and its diphthongization under stress) would be due to the influence of the noun agüero, or alternatively a verb independently built from the latter.^[1]

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /aɡoˈɾaɾ/ [a.ɣ̞oˈɾaɾ]
Rhymes: -aɾ
Syllabification: a‧go‧rar

Verb

agorar (first-person singular present agüero, first-person singular preterite agoré, past participle agorado)
