ensayar
/ensaˈʝaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to rehearse, to practice, to run lines
🎭 Shares a root with English essay and assay: a trial or attempt
From Latin exagium, a weighing or test. Essay first meant an attempt, and an assay is a test of metal. So ensayar means to try something out: rehearse a play, test an idea, or assay ore.
