/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "NAHR" (as in "nacho")/

Meaning

To heal emotionally, to work through past traumas and come out the other side healthier. Wellness culture across Latin America and Spain turned sanar into a movement word: everyone is either already healed, currently healing, or being told they need to heal something.

Examples

I am in the process of healing, I just need my time.

She did a lot of personal work and therapy to heal, and you can genuinely tell she is a different person now.

Regional synonyms

A witty, quick, and devastating comeback that leaves the other person completely speechless in Spain. It's a roast so precise and well-timed that the victim has absolutely no way to respond.
