bruciare

== Italian == === Alternative forms === abbruciare === Etymology === From a Vulgar Latin *brusiāre, itself of uncertain origin; possibly from a form *prustiāre < *per-ust(u)lāre, from Latin per + ustulāre (compare perurere), or alternatively from a corruption of *combustulāre, from a change of prefix of ambustulāre, influenced by combustus; see ambūrēre. However, an Italian word brustolare (cf. abbrustolire), from a related root *brustulāre, from ustulāre, also exists. The initial br- may also be of Germanic origin. Compare French brûler (Old French brusler), Dalmatian brusur, Occitan bruslar, buizar, Romansch brischar, Venetan bruxar. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bruˈt͡ʃa.re/ Rhymes: -are Hyphenation: bru‧cià‧re === Verb === bruciàre (first-person singular present brùcio, first-person singular past historic bruciài, past participle bruciàto, auxiliary (transitive) avére or (intransitive) èssere) (transitive) to burn (intransitive) to burn [auxiliary essere] (transitive) to sear (transitive, slang) to scupper ==== Usage notes ==== Used with the auxiliary essere when intransitive, but only in the literal meaning "to burn".
