desembaracé

Desembaracé is a Spanish verb meaning "I untangled" or "I unraveled." It is the first-person singular preterite indicative form of the verb desembarazar. The verb desembarazar itself comes from the prefix des- (meaning "un-" or "undo") and the noun embarazo (meaning "embarrassment" or "hindrance"). Therefore, desembarazar literally means to remove a hindrance or to free oneself from something that is tangled or cumbersome.

In its most common usage, desembaracé refers to the act of physically untangling something, such as cords, threads, or hair. For example, someone might say "Desembaracé el collar" which translates to "I untangled the necklace." It can also be used metaphorically to describe the process of resolving a complex situation or clearing up confusion. For instance, "Desembaracé el problema" could mean "I resolved the problem."

The preterite tense indicates a completed action in the past. Thus, desembaracé specifically refers to the act of untangling that has already occurred and is finished. The context in which the word is used will determine whether the meaning is literal or figurative. It is a verb commonly encountered in everyday Spanish conversation and writing.
