ejecute

Ejecute is primarily a grammatical form in Spanish, serving as the formal imperative of the verb ejecutar. It is used with the pronoun usted and translates to “you execute” or “please execute,” depending on tone and context. In written Spanish, especially in instructions, menus, or safety notices, ejecute may appear on buttons or commands prompting a user to initiate an action.

As a linguistic form, ejecute does not denote a standalone concept. It is one of several imperative forms derived from ejecutar, a verb meaning to perform, carry out, or run. When encountering the term in Spanish-language software or documentation, ejecute is typically understood as an instruction to run or execute a process, script, or operation.

Ejecute may also appear as a proper noun in specific contexts, such as a brand name, product title, or project identifier within Spanish-speaking markets. In such cases, usage is domain-specific and not part of standard linguistic or technical references. Capitalization and branding conventions vary by organization.

Etymologically, ejecutar stems from the Latin exsequī or exsecutus, meaning to carry out or perform, passing through the evolutions of Romance languages into modern Spanish. Related forms include ejecuta (informal tú), ejecutad (vosotros), and ejecutar (the infinitive).
