mojar
/moˈxaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to dip
💧 From Latin mollis, soft: wet bread goes soft (cf. English mollify)
Mojar comes from Vulgar Latin *molliare, to soften, from mollis (soft). Soaking something softens it, so the word moved from softening to wetting. Mojar el pan en el café means to dip bread in coffee.
