invadir
/imbaˈdiɾ/ · B1 · verb
to invade
⚔️🏰 in + Latin vadere (to go) = to go in, uninvited; same root as English invade
Same Latin root as English evade (go out) and Spanish vado (a ford, a spot where you can walk across a river). Note the sound: nv is said as mb, so invadir sounds like im-ba-DIR.
