fincar

fincar (first-person singular indicative present finco, past participle fincáu)

1. to thrust

   Synonyms: clavar, espetar

From Old Galician-Portuguese fincar, from Vulgar Latin *fīg(i)cāre, frequentative based on Latin fīgere (“drive in, fix in place”). Doublet of ficar. Cognate with Portuguese fincar and Spanish hincar. The /n/ may be due to the influence of Latin fingere and its derivatives.
