Definition in Spanish

Word origin
Built from paseo plus the diminutive -ito, where the suffix signals brevity or endearment and paseo traces back to Latin passare via the verb pasear.
Usage tips
- Because the -ito ending can sound affectionate, paseíto is typically used with friends, family, or a romantic partner rather than in formal contexts.
