Encarecidos

Encarecidos is a Spanish word that translates to "expensive" or "dear" in English. It is the plural form of the adjective "encarecido." This term is commonly used in commercial contexts to describe goods or services that have a high price. For example, one might say "los productos en esta tienda están muy encarecidos" which means "the products in this store are very expensive." The word can also be used in a more figurative sense to imply something that is valued highly, though this is less common in everyday usage. The root of the word comes from "caro," meaning expensive, with the prefix "en-" often indicating an intensification or making something become. Therefore, "encarecido" suggests something that has become or is made significantly expensive. Its usage is primarily descriptive of cost.
