colgar
/kolˈɡaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to hang
🪝📞 colgar: from Latin collocare (to place) — same root as English collocate
Latin collocare (to put in place) became colgar: you place a coat on a hook, place the phone back on its cradle, place a file on a server. English couch and collocate share the root. Collar-sound helps too: a collar hangs on the neck.
