guadañar

Spanish

Etymology

From guadaña, or from Old Spanish guadanyar, from Vulgar Latin *wadaniō, *wadaniāre (“pursue, win; scythe, mow, graze”), of Germanic origin. The semantics shifted to "win/gain/earn" in most of the other Romance languages.

Compare Portuguese ganhar, Catalan guanyar, French gagner, Italian guadagnare. See also Spanish ganar (“gain, win, earn”), from a different root influenced by the etymon of this word.
