cubrir
/kuˈbɾiɾ/ · A2 · verb
to cover
🛏️ cubrir = cover: both from Latin cooperire, to cover completely
Spanish cubrir and English cover are cousins: both descend from Latin cooperire (co- + operire, to close or cover). Swap the v for a b and the kinship shows: cover / cubr-. Same root gives cubierta (deck, cover) and descubrir (dis-cover).
