Borrowed fromLatinasperum, fromProto-Indo-European*h₂esp-(“to cut”). The forms of the Spanish word and its Portuguese equivalent seem to indicate that they may be semi-learned or borrowed terms (the expected normal resultaspro was found on rare occasions in Old Spanish documents). However, comparing it to similar cases of phonetic development in Spanish and Ibero-Romance (cf.árboles,miércoles,níspero, etc.), the preservation of the proparoxytone quality (with stress on the antepenultimate syllable) is actually normal in this word.[1]
