Orço

Orço is a term found in Portuguese with its most common usage as a verb form. It refers to the first-person singular present indicative of the verb orçar, which means to estimate costs, price a value, set a budget, or forecast expenses. In practical terms, orço is used when an individual is stating their act of budgeting or estimating financial needs, for example in projects, contracts, or purchasing decisions.

As a verb, orçar is a regular -ar verb. Its standard present tense conjugation includes: eu orço, tu orças, ele/ela orça, nós orçamos, vós orçáis, eles/elas orçam. The word orço functions within sentences to express budgeting or pricing activities and is part of broader financial and planning vocabulary in Portuguese. The form itself is not used as a standalone noun in formal language; it is one of several inflected forms of the verb.

Beyond its verbal use, orço may occur as a surname in Portuguese-speaking regions and, less commonly, as a toponym in geographic contexts. Such uses are relatively rare and not central to the term’s primary linguistic role.

In summary, orço most commonly denotes the speaker’s action of budgeting or estimating costs in Portuguese, as the first-person present of orçar. Related terms include orçar itself and orçamento, the latter referring to a budget or budgeting plan.
