Borrowed from Latin cōnfortāre.

confortar (first-person singular present conforto, first-person singular preterite confortei, past participle confortado)

1. to comfort

Inherited from Latin cōnfortāre. In Old Spanish, its rhizotonic conjugations showed the expected diphthongization (cf. confuerto), but this was later leveled to /o/ by analogy with arrhizotonic forms.^[1] Despite the resemblance, not a doublet of conhortar.

• Syllabification: con‧for‧tar

confortar (first-person singular present conforto, first-person singular preterite conforté, past participle confortado)
