caminó

Caminó is a word in Spanish that appears most often as a conjugated verb form. Specifically, caminó is the third-person singular preterite (simple past) of the verb caminar, meaning “he walked” or “she walked” (and formally “you walked” when used with usted). The infinitive form is caminar, and the noun camino means “path” or “road,” which is etymologically related but orthographically distinct.

In usage, caminó signals a completed action in the past within a narrative. It is contrasted with other tenses of caminar, such as camina (present), caminaba (imperfect), and marqué camin é (first-person preterite). The accent in caminó indicates the stressed syllable and the past tense, as required by Spanish orthography.

Caminó can also occur as a title or stylistic element in artistic or cultural contexts, where it may be used as a proper noun or shorthand for related phrases. Such uses are context-dependent and not standardized, and they are typically found in Spanish-language works or discourse where the word is intended to carry a literary or formal nuance.

See also: caminar, camino, caminante, pretérito. Notes on pronunciation and grammar vary by dialect, but the standard interpretation remains the same: caminó denotes a completed third-person past action of walking in Spanish.
