tentar
/tenˈtaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to tempt
😈🤏 tentar sounds like tent-are: a tent-ar lures you in to touch what you shouldn't
Tentar comes from Latin temptare, 'to feel, touch, try'. The touch sense came first, then 'try' and 'tempt'. Link it to English attempt and tentative, which share the same Latin root: a tentative touch is a testing feel.
