resbalar
/resbaˈlaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to slip
💧🛝 re- + sound-alike 'ras-bah-LAR': a wet floor makes you rasp 'bah, lar!' and slip
Say it like 'wrest-ba-LAR': when a wet floor wrests your footing away, you slip. The same sliding motion carries over to tears or rain that run down a surface, so think of anything gliding along smoothly with no grip.
