forzar
/foɾˈθaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to force, break through
🔨🚪 forzar = force + -ar: Spanish z stands where English has c
From Late Latin fortiare, built on fortis (strong), the same root as English force, fort and fortify. Swap the c of force for z, add the verb ending -ar, and you have it: to apply strength until something gives way.
