Verb of the Day: Esforzarse
The verb esforzarse means to make an effort, "to exert oneself," and comes from the Latin "exfortiare," formed from the prefix "ex-" ("outward," "to remove," or intensifier) and "fortis" ("strong" or "strength"). It literally means "to draw strength" or "to become strong," evolving from the idea of applying physical or moral vigor to achieve a goal.
It’s a reflexive verb, so it needs a reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, nos, os, se)
