estanear

== Spanish == === Alternative forms === stanear === Etymology === Borrowed from English stan (“an overly zealous fan”) + -ear. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /estaneˈaɾ/ [es.t̪a.neˈaɾ] Rhymes: -aɾ Syllabification: es‧ta‧ne‧ar === Verb === estanear (first-person singular present estaneo, first-person singular preterite estaneé, past participle estaneado) (transitive, fandom slang) to stan ==== Usage notes ==== Spanish orthography requires a vowel be placed before or after a word-initial s, hence why some Spanish speakers insert vowels (more specifically e) into English words without vowels before or after the word-initial s. For example, they may pronounce stop as estop or scared as escared. Therefore, an e is inserted into the beginning of this word even though the English word that was borrowed to make this word, stan, does not have an e. ==== Conjugation ====
