Aparejar is a verb that means to saddle (as in a horse), or to rig up, or prepare something for use. I don’t know if it is a common word or not. I read it in literature and am not sure that I have ever seen it used otherwise.

Prestar is not an uncommon word. We most often see it used when talking about lending something to someone. Along the lines of lending is the idea of rendering service.

One of the worst “spanglish” words I have heard is parquear meaning to park. I suppose out of all the bad combinations of English and Spanish I have heard, that is the one that bothers me the most. But, I do have to admit that parquear is much easier to say than estacionarse.

I read that estacionamiento en bateria means to park in a normal way where you put the front end or back end of your car into the parking spot. And parallel parking was referred to as estacionamiento en línea. I don’t know that I have ever heard these terms used.
