eş: enfrentar, resistir, argüir
köken: Inherited from Vulgar Latin *affrontāre, derived from Latin ad- + frontem. Doublet of afrentar. The expected diphthongization of Latin stressed /ŏ/ is attested in medieval conjugations such as afruenta.
köken: Ultimately from Latin patī. Attested in the writings of Ramon Llull. Coromines tentatively proposes that it was inherited (if so, via Vulgar Latin *patīre), considering its relatively "popular" character. This, however, would be at odds with the unlenited /-t-/.
