construir
/konsˈtɾwiɾ/ · A2 · verb
to build
🏗️🧱 construir = construct + -ir: same Latin root, con (together) + struere (pile up)
From Latin construere: con- (together) + struere (to pile up, to build). English construct and structure share the root. Swap the ending -ct for -ir and you have the Spanish verb: construct → construir.
