resar

See also: resår

Catalan

Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish rezar, from Latin recītāre (“recite”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): (Central, Balearic) [rəˈza]
• IPA^(key): (Valencia) [reˈzaɾ]
• Rhymes: -a(ɾ)

Verb

resar (first-person singular present reso, first-person singular preterite resí, past participle resat); root stress: (Central, Valencia, Balearic) /e/

1. to pray
2. to officiate in a religious service

Usage notes

• In its original sense, resar meant to read an oration: hence a missa resada is a mass which is read rather than sung ("low mass"). It has come to be used in the sense of to pray, especially when referring to non-Christian religions, in preference to the verb pregar, which has taken on a more mundane sense.
