Invocas

Invocas is most commonly encountered as a conjugated form in Romance languages and classical Latin. In Latin, invocas is the second person singular present active indicative of invocare, meaning you invoke or you call upon someone or something.

In Spanish and Portuguese, invocas is likewise the second person singular present form of the verb invocar (to invoke). In Spanish it is used with the informal tú subject, as in tú invocas a un dios or invocas ayuda.

The term derives from Latin invocare, formed from in- “upon” and vocare “to call.” The English cognate is invoke, which shares the same etymology and field of usage, such as invoking a rule, a deity, or a precedent.

In usage, invocas appears primarily in texts written in those languages. In religious, ceremonial, or literary contexts, invocar/invocar forms convey calling upon divine beings, witnesses, or authorities; in legal or rhetorical contexts, invoking an argument or right uses a related sense of the verb.

As a wordform, invocas is not generally used as a standalone noun or title in English-language discourse, and there is no widely known entity by the name Invocas. It may appear as a surname, a character name, or a brand-like designation in specific works or regions.
