doler

/doˈleɾ/ · A2 · verb

to hurt

🩹 doler → dolor: Latin dolere, the root of English doleful and condolence

From Latin dolere, to feel pain. English kept the root in doleful (full of pain), condolence (sharing pain) and indolent. It works like gustar: me duele la cabeza = my head hurts me, with o changing to ue when stressed.
