Probably from French dérocher (“to remove rocks from”), or influenced by it, from roche (“rock”). Its original meaning was to "throw down", but it seems to have evolved metaphorically to mean "to sell at a loss", and then "to squander". See also derrocar (“to cast or throw down”).
- IPA(key): /deroˈt͡ʃaɾ/ [d̪e.roˈt͡ʃaɾ]
- Rhymes: -aɾ
- Syllabification: de‧rro‧char
derrochar (first-person singular present derrocho, first-person singular preterite derroché, past participle derrochado)
- to waste, squander
- Synonyms: farrear, desperdiciar, despilfarrar, malbaratar, malgastar
1Mostly obsolete, now mainly used in legal language.
2Argentine and Uruguayan voseo prefers the tú form for the present subjunctive.
