Verb of the Day: Soportar
The verb soportar comes from the Latin "supportāre," composed of the prefix "sub-" (under, below) and the verb "portāre" (to carry, to bear). Etymologically, it means "to carry a load or weight." Soportar is a false cognate. It doesn’t mean “to support” financially. Also, in a more figurative sense, it means to stand or put up with.
