zabullir

Etymology

From older çabullir, from Old Spanish çabollir, çobollir, from older sobollir, sebollir, sebellir, from Vulgar Latin sepellīre~*sepullīre (“bury”), from Latin sepelīre. First syllable appears to have been influenced by semantically-related words words such as zapuzar (“submerge”) and zahondar (“sink”).
