acensar
Ido
Etymology
Borrowed from English ascend, French ascendre, Italian ascendere, Spanish ascender. The d was replaced with s (from Latin ascensus) so not to cause confusion with acendar.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /at͡senˈsar/
Verb
acensar (present acensas, past acensis, future acensos, conditional acensus, imperative acensez)
- (transitive, intransitive) to go up, ascend, mount
