Definition in Spanish

Word origin

From Latin designare 'mark out' (from signare 'to mark'), the verb in Spanish means planning the appearance and practical features of an object, service, or project.

Usage tips

  • The letter ñ in diseñar represents a palatal nasal sound, so replacing it with n changes pronunciation and can cause confusion with designar 'to appoint'.
