🧭🗺️ explorar = explore + -ar; Latin ex- (out) + plorare (to cry out)
It is almost the English word explore with the Spanish verb ending -ar on the end. Both come from Latin explorare: ex- means out and plorare means to cry out. Hunters shouted to drive animals out into the open, and the word came to mean searching an area.
