molestar
/molesˈtaɾ/ · A1 · verb
to bother, to disturb, to trouble, to impose, to inconvenience, to burden
🦟 False friend: molestar = to bother, like a mosquito — not English molest
From Latin molestus (troublesome), from moles, a heavy mass or burden — the same root as English mole(cule) and demolish. In Spanish it stays mild: ¿Te molesta? just means Does it bother you?
