graduar
/ɡɾaˈdwaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to graduate
🎓🌡️ From Latin gradus, step: grado means step or degree
Graduar means to move up a grado, a step, so it means to graduate. The same root means degree, so graduar also means marking an instrument in degrees, which is calibrating it. English graduate, grade and gradual share this root.
