lanzar
/lanˈθaɾ/ · A2 · verb
to throw
🚀 lanzar = to lance: from Latin lanceare, to hurl a lance; cousin of launch
Spanish lanza is a lance, and lanzar first meant to hurl one. English launch comes from the same Latin root via Old French lancher. So lanzar, lance and launch are one family: throw it, launch it, pitch it.
