ver

/ˈbeɾ/ · A1 · verb

to see, to spot

👀 ver = the vi- in video and vision; both come from Latin videre, to see

Spanish ver shrank from Latin videre (to see), the same root behind English video, vision and view. The initial v is said like a soft b, so it sounds close to English bear: you bear witness to what you ver.
