🃏 burlar shares a root with burlesque: from burla, a joke or a trick
Spanish burla means a joke or a prank. Italian borrowed the same word and built burlesco, which gave English burlesque, a mocking parody. Burlar is to play that kind of joke: trick someone, dodge a rule, or with de, make fun of someone.
