alimentar
/alimenˈtaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to feed
🍽️ alimentar = aliment + -ar: to give aliment (nourishment), like alimentary canal
From Latin alimentum, nourishment, from alere, to nourish. English keeps the same root in alimentary and alimony (money that feeds someone). The figurative sense matches English too: to feed a fire, a rumour, a machine.
