asar
/aˈsaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to roast
🍖🔥 asar = a-SAR: sounds like 'a sauna-r' — meat sweating in the heat
Asar comes from Latin assare, 'to roast', from assus 'roasted dry'. Link the sound 'a-SAR' to 'a SeAR' on a grill: both mean cooking with direct heat. The pester sense works like being kept on the fire, constantly pressed.
