Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Spanish prestar, from Latin praestāre.

Coromines and Pascual mention an old attestation of Latin praestō meaning "to lend" in a legal document of 438, the Interpretationes Theodosianae, where commodō is switched for praestō. This meaning is also attested in the Reichenau Glosses. They also mention that the meaning "to borrow", generally considered non-standard, is already attested in the 16th-century work El patrañuelo.
