Welcome to the largest Spanish educational and research project on the Internet. This open and editable dictionary aims to offer a tool where, on the one hand, users broaden knowledge about the different meanings that each of the words and expressions of Spanish can adopt. And, on the other hand, give the same community the ability to expand the database with new words, unknown or unregistered, or expand the different meanings that can adopt the existing words. For identical words and according to which country of the world we move, it is very frequent to find completely different uses, that is why, once the official definition is mentioned, the dictionary allows users to expand it with new meanings or nuances. In short, a dictionary edited by users and for users. Daily among all the meanings uploaded by users will select one of them as word, expression or theme of the day. This meaning will appear on the home page just after this presentation for at least 24 hours. Finally, we have made the project extensible to words from other languages ??or disciplines, you can access these dictionaries through the drop-down that appears next to the search box and the operation is identical to the main dictionary. Hoping that the use of the dictionary is to his liking we say goodbye.
Sincerely,
Spanish Working Group
How has the dictionary evolved?
First of all, we want to thank all the collaborators for their help, since without them and them this project would not be possible. Since the ship sailed there in 2010 we have received a total of 167,759 Contributions to define 114,460 different words or expressions that have consulted more than 100,000 readers and have directly helped 47 people who asked the dictionary for a word that was not Registered therein.

- toto
2
1º_ Hypocoristic of Antonio . 2º_ 'Toto' is the name of about twenty cities: four in the Democratic Republic of Congo, three in Angola and the USA, two in South Korea and Indonesia, and one in India, Mexico, Nigeria, New Guinea, Spain and China. 3º_ 'Toto' is a pop rock band created by American session players in 1976. The origin of the name has different versions. The oldest (and the one I like the most) tells that its drummer Jeff Porcaro saw on television the film The Wizard of Oz ("The Wizard of Oz", Victor Fleming, 1939) and was tempted to laugh with the name of Dorothy's dog, to the point of taking it as a crutch and repeating "Toto, Toto!" at every moment. When it was necessary to identify in the recording studio the demos of the band, which still had no name, he put some labels with the word "TOTO" (or maybe it was the engineer of the studio, as a nod to the musician) and as all the tapes already had that name they decided almost unanimously that it would be that of the band. Only in the 1980s bassist David Hungate explained that toto in Latin means "at all", and that it represents the totality of styles played by the members of the group.
