Infrigir

Infrigir is not recognized as a standard word in major dictionaries. It is generally regarded as a misspelling or nonstandard variant of the verbs infringir in Spanish and Portuguese or infringe in English. The term does not have an accepted independent meaning in standard usage.

Etymology and relation to other forms: If encountered, infrigir/infringir would be traced to the Latin infringere, meaning to break or violate. The corresponding English form infring e comes from the same Latin root, while Spanish and Portuguese use infringir as the present infinitive.

Definition and usage: In formal writing, the correct verb to express violation of rights, laws, or agreements is infringe (English) or infringir (Spanish/Portuguese). This covers violations of intellectual property, contracts, or statutes, as well as other legal or ethical boundaries. Because infrigir is not standard, it is typically avoided in careful prose and can be viewed as a typographical error.

Examples:

- The company infringed the patent by manufacturing the product without permission.

- Debidamente, la empresa infringió la patente. (Spanish)

- Users must not infringe the terms of service.

Notes: If you encounter infrigir in a text, it is most often a mistake. In any formal or scholarly context, replace it with the correct form appropriate to the language: infringe (English) or infringir (Spanish/Portuguese).
