coricare

Italian

Alternative forms

Etymology

Inherited from Latin collocāre (set in place). The more conservative variant colcare led to corcare through the widespread rhotacism of preconsonantal /l/. The epenthetic /i/ may have been inserted by analogy with the similar-sounding caricare ~ carcare (to load, stow). Doublet of collocare, which was borrowed from Latin.
