reclamar
/reklaˈmaɾ/ · B1 · verb
to claim, to ask for, to demand
📢 re + clamar (to shout): shout back to demand what's yours, like reclaim
From Latin reclamare, 'to cry out against', built from re- (back) and clamare (to shout), the same root as English clamour and exclaim. The hunting sense keeps the shouting: a hunter calls birds back with a whistle or decoy.
