Pronounced as (IPA)

/koˈθeɾ/

Inherited from Old Spanish cozer, from Late Latin cocere, from Latin coquere. 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. Cognate with English cook.
