sugerir
/suxeˈɾiɾ/ · A2 · verb
to suggest
💡 sugerir = suggest: same Latin root, suggerere (to bring up from below)
Both come from Latin sub (under) + gerere (to carry): to carry an idea up from underneath. Swap the English -gest for Spanish -gerir, as in digerir = digest and ingerir = ingest. The g before e is the throaty Spanish j sound: soo-heh-REER.
