Pronunciation: [nˈe͡ɪsə] (IPA) 
The Spanish word "nacer" (nah-SEHR) means "to be born" in English. Its spelling may seem unusual to non-Spanish speakers because of the letter "c" followed by the letter "e". However, this is a common pattern in Spanish and is called a "ceceo" pronunciation. It means that the "c" takes on a "s" sound instead of a "k" sound before the letters "e" and "i". This is why "nacer" is spelled with a "c" instead of a "k".
Nacer is a Spanish verb that translates to "to be born" or "to come into existence" in English. It is derived from the Latin word "nasci" which has the same meaning.
In its literal sense, nacer refers to the process of a living organism emerging from the womb or an egg, heralding the beginning of life. It is closely associated with the act of birth, emphasizing the moment of entry into the world. However, nacer can also be used metaphorically to describe the origin or creation of something new, not necessarily limited to the birth of a living being.
The verb is conjugated based on the subject of the sentence, following the regular -er verb conjugation pattern in Spanish. For example, "yo nací" (I was born), "tú naciste" (you were born), "él/ella nació" (he/she was born), and so on.
Additionally, nacer can be used in various contexts to express the concept of being born again or being reborn, not necessarily in a physical sense but rather in a metaphorical or spiritual sense, signifying a fresh start or new beginning. It is commonly featured in religious or philosophical discussions related to personal transformation or renewal.
The word "nacer" comes from the Latin word "nasci", which means "to be born" or "to arise". This Latin term is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*gen-", which also gives rise to words such as "genesis" in English, "génese" in French, and "génesis" in Spanish, among others. The word "nacer" has retained its original meaning throughout the centuries and is commonly used in Spanish to refer to the act of being born.
