corredera

Corredera is a term used in Spanish and Portuguese with several related senses in botany, geography, and culture. It derives from correr, meaning to run, and it carries the sense of something that runs, extends, or forms a passage.

In botany, corredera is a common name applied to several creeping or climbing plants in different regions. It is not a scientific designation and does not identify a single genus or species. Because the same local name can refer to different plants depending on country or locality, precise identification requires local context or a botanical reference.

As a place name, Corredera (often written La Corredera) appears in several Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking areas. It is typically used for streets, squares, or districts that historically functioned as narrow passages, corridors, or marketplaces. The toponym reflects historical use of the space rather than a particular botanical or taxonomic meaning.

Other occasional uses of the term include its appearance in personal or organizational names in regions where the word is part of the local language. These uses are less common and highly localized.
