entegar

Entegar is a nonstandard spelling of the Spanish verb entregar, which means to hand over, deliver, or surrender. In standard usage, entregar denotes transferring possession of something to another person or to an institution, delivering a result, or presenting items or documents.

The standard form is entregar, used in a wide range of contexts such as entregar un paquete (to hand over a package), entregar un informe (to submit a report), or entregar las llaves (to hand in the keys). In law enforcement or military contexts, entregar can also mean to surrender or deliver someone to authorities. The sense of completion or fulfillment is central to its meaning, underscoring the act of transferring control or responsibility.

Orthography and usage notes: entegar is generally considered incorrect in formal writing and is not listed as a separate verb in major dictionaries. Many editors and spell checkers treat entegar as a misspelling of entregar. The form is sometimes seen in informal writing or regional texts, but it is not recognized as standard Spanish. The verb entregar itself comes from the same root and shares its etymology with related forms that convey transfer or delivery, often traced back to Latin through the development of Spanish.

Conjugation follows the regular -ar verb pattern of entregar. Typical examples include present tense forms such as entrego, entregas, entrega, and entregar; past and subjunctive forms align with standard -ar verb conjugation.
