discutir

/diskuˈtiɾ/ · A2 · verb

to discuss, to argue

Latin discutere = dis (apart) + quatere (shake): shake a topic apart

Same root as English discuss, so the examine-in-detail sense carries over. In Spanish it leans harder toward arguing: discutir con alguien usually means to quarrel with someone, not just to talk things over.
