enteradoenterada

Enteradoenterada is a contemporary Spanish neologism that merges the masculine adjective enterado and the feminine enterada. It does not appear in standard dictionaries but has circulated in online conversation and linguistic experiments as a gender-inclusive or gender-flexible form to describe someone who is well informed about a topic or situation.

Etymology and formation: The coinage derives from the verb enterar (to become aware) and its participial forms enterado and enterada. By concatenating the two endings, speakers signal inclusivity of both genders. Variants with at sign (enterad@) and other orthographies have also appeared in online discourse.

Usage and meaning: Used mainly in informal contexts, memes, and discussions about inclusive language. It may function adjectivally as enteradoenterada, or be used as a nominal descriptor meaning “a person who is fully informed across genders.” Its exact acceptability varies across communities and is not standardized.

Reception and status: Linguists generally regard it as a playful or experimental coinage rather than a normative form. Critics note that it risks confusing readers or contradicting established grammar rules, while proponents see it as a creative response to gendered language in Spanish.
