[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Old Spanish esconder, from an original asconder (via replacement of the prefix with es-), from Latin abscondere. It formerly showed the expected diphthongization of stressed Latin /ŏ/ in rhizotonic conjugations (cf. older escuendo), but this was later levelled out by analogy with arrhizotonic conjugations. Doublet of absconder and cognate with English abscond.
Pronunciation
[edit]- IPA(key): /eskonˈdeɾ/ [es.kõn̪ˈd̪eɾ]
Audio (Colombia): (file) - Rhymes: -eɾ
- Syllabification: es‧con‧der
