escarbador

Escarbador is a term of Spanish origin that translates to "digger" or "excavator" in English. It is primarily used in a literal sense to refer to a person or tool that excavates or digs into the ground. This can encompass a wide range of activities, from gardening and agricultural work to more industrial applications such as construction or mining.

In agricultural contexts, an escarbador might be a tool used for tilling soil, preparing seedbeds, or removing weeds. These tools can range from simple hand-held implements to more complex machinery. In construction, the term could refer to an excavator operator or the machinery itself, used for digging foundations, trenches, or other earthmoving tasks.

The word "escarbador" can also be used metaphorically. In some informal contexts, it might describe someone who is overly inquisitive or prone to digging for information, perhaps in a nosy or persistent manner. However, its most common and direct meaning relates to the physical act of digging. The specific tool or person designated as an escarbador would depend on the context of its use.
