Word of the Day

verticilo. (Del lat. verticillus). 1. m. Bot. Conjunto de tres o más ramos, hojas, flores, pétalos u otros órganos, que están en un mismo plano alrededor de un tallo.

In English: whorl.

And why do we care?  Because the lady who mispronounces her "rr"s and doesn't speak up is droning on about them in Simultaneous 12A.  "Levantamiento de huellas dactilares," or fingerprinting.

I see another word that I don't know:
indubitado, da. (Del lat. indubitātus). 1. adj. Que no admite duda.

However, "dubitado" does not seem to be a word according to the Bible - ahem, I mean, according to the Real Academia España:
La palabra dubitado no está registrada en el Diccionario.

Tell that to Miss Mumbler.
