Dissimilated from Old Spanish prostrar (e.g. prostrado in Gonzalo de Berceo, 13th century),[1] a borrowing from Medieval Latin prōstrāre, backformed from prōstrātus, perfect passive participle of prōsternō (“to prostrate, to throw down”).
postrar (first-person singular present postro, first-person singular preterite postré, past participle postrado)
- to prostrate, lie prostrate, to lie low
- (reflexive) to prostrate oneself, to kneel, to fall to one's knees (in obedience, to beg etc.)
- to debilitate
- Synonym: debilitar
1Mostly obsolete, now mainly used in legal language.
2Argentine and Uruguayan voseo prefers the tú form for the present subjunctive.
