Enfaza

Enfaza is a term that may function as a noun or as a proper name in different contexts. In linguistic and rhetorical usage, enfaza is associated with the idea of giving prominence or focus to a part of a sentence, a syllable, or a concept. The standard terms in many languages for this concept are énfasis in Spanish and ênfase in Portuguese; enfaza itself is much less common and is not widely listed as a separate lexical item in major dictionaries. When used in writing or speech, the effect of enfaza corresponds to emphasis achieved through intonation, stress, or typographic devices such as italics or bold formatting.

Enfaza also appears as a proper noun in contemporary branding. It is used by several small businesses, artistic collectives, and online projects as a company or product name, often in creative industries or media production. Because it is a generic-sounding word with a positive connotation, its use as a brand name is diverse and not tied to a single domain or region.

Because of its ambiguous status, references to enfaza typically require context to avoid confusion with related terms such as énfasis (emphasis) or ênfase, or with other proper names that resemble the term. See also: énfasis, ênfase, emphasis.
