esfachar

Galician

Etymology

Unknown. The possibilities include:

• Compound of es- + facha (“battleaxe”) + -ar.

• A possible Vulgar Latin *exfaciāre, from ex- + faciēs + -āre (literally "deface"), whence Italian sfacciare and Old French esfacier. This, however, would not explain the Galician word's /tʃ/ (the expected result would have been *esfaçar).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /esfaˈt͡ʃaɾ/

Verb

esfachar (first-person singular present esfacho, first-person singular preterite esfachei, past participle esfachado)

1. (transitive) to smash

   Synonym: escachar
