hesitará

Hesitará is the third-person singular form of the verb hesitar in the future simple tense in both Spanish and Portuguese. It translates to “he will hesitate” or “she/it will hesitate,” depending on the subject. It is a normal verb form and not a noun or a proper name.

Etymology and meaning: Hesitar comes from Latin haesitare, meaning to hesitate or delay. The Spanish and Portuguese forms preserve this sense of pausing, doubting, or wavering before a decision or action. The word is used to describe a future moment of indecision rather than a current action.

Usage and examples: In everyday language, hesitará signals that the subject will hesitate in the near future. Examples include: Spanish: “Él hesitará ante la decisión.” Portuguese: “Ele hesitará antes de assinar o contrato.” More generally, it can pair with phrases like “hesitar entre,” “hesitar entre … y …” to describe wavering between options. It is the direct counterpart of other future forms such as “seguramente tomará” in tone, but with a nuance of hesitation rather than certainty.

Conjugation notes: Hesitará is specific to the third-person singular form in the future simple. Other persons and tenses follow regular patterns for the verb hesitar in each language (por ejemplo, yo/hablaba), and the related conditional or past forms use different endings without the acute accent on the final syllable in Portuguese or Spanish.

In summary, hesitará is a standard future tense form used to denote that someone will hesitate, grounded in a verb with Latin origins and common across both Spanish and Portuguese.
