aprender
/apɾenˈdeɾ/ · A1 · verb
to learn
📚 aprender = apprentice: both from Latin apprehendere, to grasp
Latin apprehendere (to seize, grasp) became Spanish aprender and, via French, English apprentice and apprehend. To learn is to grasp something with the mind. An apprentice is literally a learner, so aprender = what an apprentice does.
