debilito

Debilito is a Spanish term that mainly appears as the first-person present indicative form of the verb debilitar, meaning to weaken or make something less strong. In typical use, debilito denotes the action of weakening carried out by the speaker on a direct object, as in Yo debilito las defensas or Él debilita a sus oponentes.

As a verb, debilitar belongs to the regular -ar conjugation, so its other present forms are debilitas, debilita, debilitamos, debilitan, and its other tenses follow standard -ar patterns (for example, debilitaba, debilitó, debilitaremos, debilitaban). The form debilito is therefore primarily encountered when the speaker is indicating a current, active weakening of something.

Etymologically, debilitar derives from the Latin debilis, meaning weak, and the usual verb-making suffixes that yielded Spanish debilitar. The noun and related adjectives in the family include debilitación and debilitado, which describe the state or process of being weakened.

Usage and nuances: debilito is a straightforward, literal verb form and is widely understood in Spanish-speaking contexts. It is not typically used as a standalone noun or independent name. In formal writing, writers often prefer synonyms such as debilitar or weaken through more precise constructions, depending on the subject matter.
