perforar
/peɾfoˈɾaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to puncture, to pierce, to perforate
📌 per-FOR-ar: a PER-son drives a FOR-k through it, making holes
Sounds like per + fork: a fork pushed through something leaves holes. Latin roots: per (through) + forare (to bore a hole), so perforar literally means to bore through. English perforate comes from the same source.
