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
