From Old Galician-Portuguese gostar (“to taste”) (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria). Probably borrowed from Latin gustō, gustāre. Compare Portuguese gostar.

Either from gust + -ar or from Latin augustālis, from augustus.
gustar
Borrowed in this form from Latin gustāre. Replaced the inherited Old Spanish form gostar. See gusto. The use of this verb to mean "like" is a uniquely Ibero-Romance development. Compare Portuguese gostar.
gustar (first-person singular present gusto, first-person singular preterite gusté, past participle gustado)
However, compare with the archaic meaning of to like:
Some more examples:
a X le(s) gusta(n) Y
a mí me gustaba(n) Y
a ti te gustaría(n) Y
a nosotros nos gusta(n) Y
a vosotros os gusta(n) Y
a usted le gusta(n) Y
X must agree in number (and person) with "le(s)," and Y must agree in number with the verb form of "gustar".
