auscultate

auscultate
auscultate (v.) "to listen" (especially with a stethoscope), 1832, from L. auscultatus, pp. of auscultare "to listen attentively to," from aus-, from auris "ear" (see EAR (Cf. ear) (1)); "the rest is doubtful" [OED]. Tucker suggests the second element is akin to clinere "to lean, bend."
