plantar

/planˈtaɾ/ · B1 · verb

to plant

🌱 plantar = plant + -ar: the English word plant with a Spanish verb ending

From Latin plantare, to push a shoot into the ground with the sole of the foot (planta). English plant comes from the same root, so the meaning carries over directly: to plant seeds, or more loosely to set or place something firmly.
