Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to offer a new proposal about the origin of the frequentative meaning of the verbal periphrasis , different from Vázquez’s (1980) hypothesis of a loan-translation from Quechua, and from Lida de Malkiel’s (1948) interpretation of this as a cultism. Furthermore, the semantic trajectory that the auxiliary verb has followed will be traced.
