EN: to roast; to grill
This is the OG meaning from Spanish. Think lechon, a whole pig turning over hot coals. That's being 'inasar'. While 'ihaw' is the more common term now for your friendly neighborhood BBQ, **asar** is the root word for that grand-scale roasting. It's the verb behind 'lechon'.
From Spanish 'asar' (to roast, to grill).
Less common in daily speech than its synonym 'ihaw'. Usually found in more formal or literary contexts, or in its derived form 'inasar' (roasted).
