entregar

/entɾeˈɡaɾ/ · A2 · verb

to deliver, to hand over, to hand off

📦 entregar = en + integrar: make it whole again by handing it over

From Latin integrare, to make whole, the same root as English integrate and entire. A delivery or a homework hand-in completes what was owed. Sound hook: en-TRE-gar holds 'tre', like a tray you hand across.
