/inteɾθebˈtaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to intercept
🏈🛑 inter + cept: 'between' + 'seize' — grab it while it's between sender and receiver
Latin inter (between) + capere (to take, seize). To interceptar is to take something while it is still between two points, like a pass or message. Hence block or interrupt. English intercept is the same word.
