acercar
/aθeɾˈkaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to approach, to get close, to come
🔍 a + cerca (near) + -ar: to make something near
Built from cerca, the Spanish word for near or close. Add a- (to, toward) and the verb ending -ar and you get to bring close. The same root gives acerca de, meaning about: getting near a topic.
