Revocado

Revocado is the past participle of the Spanish verb revocar, meaning to revoke, cancel, or rescind. In legal and administrative contexts, revocado describes something that has been withdrawn or annulled, such as a license, decree, or decision (for example, una licencia revocada). In many Spanish-speaking jurisdictions, the term is commonly used to indicate that a previously issued act has been nullified or invalidated.

In architecture and construction, revocado refers to a plaster or render applied to a wall or surface. It is a coating of cementitious material that seals and finishes masonry, often consisting of cement, lime, or gypsum-based mixtures. The revocado provides weather protection and a surface suitable for painting or further decoration; finishes can be smooth or textured depending on technique and tools used.

Etymology and usage: The term derives from Latin revocare, "to call back" or "to revoke." In both Spanish and Portuguese, revocado functions as a participle and adjective. Context determines whether it means cancelled/withdrawn or plastered/finished surface.
