seleccionar
/seleɡθjoˈnaɾ/ · B2 · verb
to select
✅ seleccionar = select-ion-ar: sounds like 'select' with a Spanish -ar ending
Seleccionar comes from Latin selectio, the same root as English select and selection. Spot the 'selec' chunk, then add -cionar, which behaves like English -tion turned into a verb. Say it as 'select' plus 'thyo-NAR'.
