acalorados

Acalorados is a Spanish adjective and past participle used to describe people, crowds, or situations marked by intense emotion, agitation, or enthusiasm. The form derives from the verb acalorar, which means to inflame or heat up, or to excite strongly; the root is related to calor, heat. The masculine plural is acalorados, the feminine singular acalorada, and the feminine plural acaloradas.

Use: In everyday language, acalorado describes emotional intensity rather than only temperature. It is common in journalism and literature to characterize discussions, sports events, or público: "un debate acalorado," "un público acalorado," or "una afición acalorada." It can also describe a hot environment or atmosphere in a figurative sense: "tardes acaloradas," though the primary sense is emotional.

Adverbs: acaloradamente. Synonyms include exaltado, encendido, fogoso; antonyms calmado, sereno.

Note: The term conveys energy and tension without implying aggression; context determines whether the mood is positive (passionate support) or negative (hostility or conflict).
