elaboró

Elaboró is the third person singular and formal second person (usted) preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb elaborar, meaning "to elaborate," "to produce," "to prepare," or "to develop." It is used to indicate a completed action in the past: for example, "Ella elaboró el informe" ("She prepared the report") or "Usted elaboró la propuesta" ("You prepared the proposal").

The acute accent on the final o marks the past tense stress and differentiates elaboró from elaboro, which is the first person singular present indicative ("I elaborate") or the informal imperative/other present forms in some contexts. The verb elaborar is regular in its conjugation pattern for -ar verbs. Synonyms in Spanish include desarrollar, confeccionar, preparar and producir, though nuances vary by context (creative development, manufacturing, planning, etc.).

Etymologically, elaborar derives from Latin elaborare, a compound related to laborare ("to work"), conveying the sense of working something out or producing it by effort. In pronunciation, elaboró places stress on the final syllable: /elaβoˈɾo/. Common collocations include elaboró un informe, elaboró una estrategia and elaboró un plan. The equivalent past-tense form in Portuguese is elaborou.
