köken: Inherited from Vulgar Latin *alēnitare < *an(h)ēlitāre, derived from Latin anhēlitus (“breath”). The diphthongization in rhizotonic conjugations (yo aliento) is etymologically unexpected, considering the Latin /ē/, but may have to do with analogy with other verbs ending in -entar, such as sentar. In that case, the diphtongization in Asturian alendar would perhaps be due to Castilian influence.
to aspire (to have a strong desire or ambition to achieve something) · to aspirate (to produce an audible puff of breath after a consonant) · to aspirate (to inhale so as to draw something other than air into one's lungs)
