Introduction to the verb alpaguer
The English translation of the French verb alpaguer is “to accost” or “to accost aggressively.” It is pronounced as “al-pah-geh” in its infinitive form.
The word “alpaguer” comes from the Latin word “alpaca,” meaning “a type of wool.” It was later used in French to refer to the act of seizing or taking something, particularly in a forceful or aggressive way.
