bailar
/baiˈlaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to dance
💃⚽ bailar → ballet, ballroom, ballad: all from Latin ballare, to dance
Late Latin ballare (to dance) gave English ball (the dance party), ballet and ballroom, and Spanish bailar. A footballer who dribbles well makes the ball dance, so bailar covers that too. Stress falls on the last syllable: bai-LAR.
