querer
/keˈɾeɾ/ · A1 · verb
to desire, to want, to want to
❤️ From Latin quaerere, to seek: same root as query, quest and question
Latin quaerere meant to seek or ask. Spanish shifted it from seeking something to wanting it, and then to loving someone. English kept the seeking sense in query, quest and inquire, so querer is a quest for what you want.
