resar

See also: resår

Catalan

Etymology

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

Pronunciation

Verb

resar (first-person singular present reso, first-person singular preterite resí, past participle resat); root stress: (Central, Valencian, 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.
