honrar

/onˈraɾ/ · B1 · verb

to honor

🏅 honrar = honor + -ar, from Latin honorare, same root as English honor

Spanish drops the middle o of Latin honorare and adds the verb ending -ar. The h is silent, so it sounds like on-RAR. The noun is honra or honor, which makes this one of the easiest Spanish verbs to recall.
