dañar
/daˈɲaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to damage, to harm, to hurt, to injure
🔨 Same Latin root as English damn and damage: damnare, to condemn
Latin damnare (to condemn, to fine) became Spanish dañar. Drop the m, and the ñ stands in for the old -mn- cluster. That's why daño means harm, and it sits next to English damage and damn.
