Spanish

Etymology

From Old Spanish, from Vulgar Latin *cocēre, from Latin coquere, present active infinitive of coquō, from Proto-Italic *kʷekʷō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pekʷ- (“to cook, become ripe”). Some conjugated forms of the verb were reformed through analogy with the infinitive; in Old Spanish, the forms cueza and cuezo were cuega and cuego, respectively, coció was coxo, and the past participle was cocho instead of cocido.

Pronunciation

• (Castilian) IPA^(key): /ko.ˈθer/
• (Latin America) IPA^(key): /ko.ˈser/
• Homophone: coser (non-Castilian dialects)

Verb

cocer (first-person singular present cuezo, first-person singular preterite cocí, past participle cocido)

1. to boil

   cocer a fuego lento - simmer

2. (reflexive, cocerse) to brew

3. (takes a reflexive pronoun) to chafe (get sore)

Conjugation

• Rule: o becomes ue in stressed syllables; c becomes a z before a or o.
