maniobrar
/manjoˈbɾaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to maneuver
🚗 maniobrar = mano (hand) + obra (work): hand-work steering something into place
Comes from French manœuvre, from Latin manu operare, 'to work by hand'. Spanish maniobrar keeps that idea: steering a vehicle or situation carefully by hand, as in maneuvering a car into a tight spot.
