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?

furoya
- aporocidio
1
It doesn't exist, or it shouldn't. It seems to be a synonym of paupericide ("death by destitution") surely badly inspired by aporophobia ("fear of poverty"), since there is a question of etymologies whereby crimes ending in -cidio have Latin origin and phobias are instead given a Greek origin. It is not a rule, but it is generally respected, and if variants have to be created because 'paupericide' can be interpreted as 'to murder a man because he is destitute' or also as 'to kill a group of people by submission to poverty', then Latin offers other variants, such as egenticide.
