asustar
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Spanish
Etymology
Either derived from a- + susto (“fright”) + -ar, or less likely from a Latin suscitāre (which would hypothetically make it a cognate with English suscitate). More likely linked to Latin substāre, from sub- + stō (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?). Compare Portuguese assustar.
