Catalan
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:etymology at line 170: Old Occitan (pro) is not set as an ancestor of Catalan (ca) in Module:languages/data/2. The ancestor of Catalan is Old Catalan (roa-oca)., from Latin recītāre (“to recite”), present active infinitive of recītō.
Pronunciation
Verb
resar (first-person singular present reso, first-person singular preterite resí, past participle resat)
Usage notes
In its original sense, resar meant to read an oration: hence a missa resada is a mass which is read rather than sung ("low mass"). It has come to be used in the sense of to pray, especially when referring to non-Christian religions, in preference to the verb pregar, which has taken on a more mundane sense.
