The Dictionary of the Spanish Language (DLE) has published the new words that are now part of the Royal Spanish Academy. Some of them we use daily and were already installed in our day to day before. Among them, the most outstanding: 'Machirulo', 'big data', 'regañá', 'VAR', 'perreo', 'chunda-chunda', 'energy poverty', 'alien', 'oscarizar', 'regañá' or 'supervillain', among others.
It corresponds to the seventh update, in which 4,381 novelties are incorporated, including new terms. The most notable come from the field of sexuality and gender. Words such as "non-binary" ("person who does not perceive their gender identity in binary terms of man or woman"), or "hormonization" and "hormonar" ("treat a person or animal with hormones") are added to the dictionary. In addition, the terms "gender dysphoria", "sexual identity" and "gender identity" have also been added.
Other uses of words that are common and were inside, but to which meanings have been added. The word 'toxic' ("that has a harmful or pernicious influence on someone"), referring to social relationships such as the term used when having "a toxic boyfriend or friend". Like 'crack', which refers to a "person who stands out extraordinarily in something". In the field of aesthetic medicine, 'pressotherapy' is included and in sports, 'video arbitration'.
According to the director of the RAE Santiago Muñoz Molina, these words have been added "when we can verify that their use has become widespread and has spread among the Spanish-speaking population", statements that have been collected by the newspaper La Razón.
