sobrevivir
/sobɾebiˈbiɾ/ · A2 · verb
to survive
sobre (over) + vivir (to live) = to live over, to outlive: survive
Same build as English survive: Latin super (over) + vivere (to live). Spanish sobre is the everyday word for over/above, and vivir is to live, so sobrevivir is literally to over-live, to keep living past a danger.
