esconder

/eskonˈdeɾ/ · A2 · verb

to hide

🙈 esconder = to abscond with it: same Latin root, abscondere, to hide away

From Latin abscondere (abs- away + condere to put, store), which also gave English abscond. Old Spanish had asconder; the a- shifted to e-. Strip the es- and you hear -conder, the same -cond as in abscond: to put something away out of sight.
