verb/ɡwadaˈɲaɾ/
to scythe; mow
From guadaña, or from Old Spanish guadanyar, from Vulgar Latin *wadaniāre, from Frankish *waiþanōn. The semantics shifted to "win/gain/earn" in most of the other Romance languages. Compare Portuguese ganhar, Catalan guanyar, French gagner, Italian guadagnare. See also Spanish ganar (“gain, win, earn”), from a different root influenced by the etymon of this word.
