flotacar

Ido

Etymology

Borrowed from English flotation, French flottaison, Italian fiottare, Spanish flotación, all ultimately from Proto-Germanic *flutōną (“to float”), from Proto-Indo-European *plewd-, *plew- (“to float, swim, fly”). Flotacar was chosen instead of flotar so as not to interfere with floto (“fleet”).

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /flotaˈt͡sar/

Verb

flotacar (present tense flotacas, past tense flotacis, future tense flotacos, imperative flotacez, conditional flotacus)

  1. (intransitive) to float, be afloat (on the surface of a liquid)
