/Sounds like the English word "palom" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To check items off a list one by one. In Mexico, "palomear" captures the satisfying ritual of ticking off tasks, named after the checkmark shape called "palomita" (little dove). That small visual reward of progress is built right into the word.
“We're checking things off the to-do list one by one.”
“I ticked off everything on my list, now I can actually rest.”

Pichurria
