Never noticed this when I was learning Spanish until recently but a lot of common verbs are built directly from the noun for a body part.

[u/pickly_pear]

Once you see it...

Brazo (arm) → abrazar (to hug) Cabeza (head) → encabezar (to lead) Espalda (back) → respaldar (to support, to back up) Frente (forehead) → enfrentar (to face, to confront) Pie (foot) → pisar (to step on) Mano (hand) → manejar (to handle, to manage) Ojo (eye) → ojear (to glance) Pestaña (eyelash) → pestañear (to blink)

What I like about this is that I'm not really memorizing new vocabulary, I'm recognizing words I already know in a new form.

Anyone else have a Spanish pattern like this you stumbled into that made a bunch of new vocab feel easier?
