amanecer
/amaneˈθeɾ/ · B1 · verb
to wake up
🌅🐓 a + Latin mane (morning) + -ecer (to become) = to become morning
Mane is the same Latin root behind mañana. The ending -ecer means becoming, as in oscurecer, to get dark. So amanecer is the day turning into morning. As a noun, el amanecer means the dawn.
