Borrowed from Arabic شَكَا (šakā, “to complain”) or more likely a derivative. The -ch- points to Maghrebi Arabic tšakka, from classical تَشَكَّى (tašakkā), which is a frequentative/intensive of the first-mentioned verb. Alternatively it might perhaps be from the noun الشَكْوَى (aš-šakwā, “complaint”); compare achaque.
- IPA(key): /at͡ʃaˈkaɾ/ [a.t͡ʃaˈkaɾ]
- Rhymes: -aɾ
- Syllabification: a‧cha‧car
achacar (first-person singular present achaco, first-person singular preterite achaqué, past participle achacado)
- to attribute (something to someone); to blame
- Synonyms: culpar, echar la culpa, responsabilizar, imputar, atribuir
