verb/kaˈt͡ʃaɾ/
to catch (to intercept); to catch, to get (to grasp mentally: perceive and understand); to find out, spy out, peek; to have sex
“Con ira mal reprimida, respondí: A mí no me cachan. Antes matar.”

Believed to be borrowed from English catch which in that case would make it a doublet of cazar. However, certain meanings in South America could be derived from Italian cacciare or Spanish cazar.
