/pɾoɡɾaˈmaɾ/ · B1 · verb

to program

💻📅 Greek pro + gramma = written beforehand, like a schedule or code

From Greek programma, a public notice written in advance: pro (before) + gramma (letter, writing). In Spanish, programar covers both senses. You write code before it runs, and you write an event into the calendar before it happens.
