👮🚓 patrullar sounds like pat-rool-AR: a patrol officer pats the road, rolling along
Spanish patrullar comes from French patrouiller, meaning to tramp through mud, which is linked to patte, a paw or foot. Patrols were originally made on foot, so hear pat-rool as pat-pat footsteps rolling along a route.
