Pronounced as (IPA)
/eskonˈdeɾ/
Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Old Spanish esconder, from an original asconder (via replacement of the prefix with es-), from Latin abscondere. It formerly showed the expected diphthongization of stressed Latin /ŏ/ in rhizotonic conjugations (cf. older escuendo), but this was later levelled out by analogy with arrhizotonic conjugations. Doublet of absconder and cognate with English abscond.
