interpositorio

Interpositorio is a term used in Spanish to denote something that lies or is placed between two other elements, acting as an intermediary or mediator. Derived from interponere, the Latin roots mean to place between. The word functions as an adjective and, in some technical contexts, as a noun. Its usage varies by field, and it is relatively uncommon outside specialized literature.

In engineering and technology, interpositorio describes a component or device inserted between two parts to separate, insulate, or translate signals or forces. A frequently cited electronic example is the interposer, a substrate placed between a silicon die and a package or board to route connections and enable high-density interconnections; in Spanish-language texts this is sometimes translated as interpositorio or interposer.

In legal and administrative vocabulary, the related concept of interposición refers to the act of presenting a legal recourse or filing an objection. The term interpositorio can appear in descriptions of devices or actions that interpose themselves within a dispute or process, though this usage is less common and tends to be field-specific.

In philosophy and social theory, interpositorio may be used to describe mediating entities, processes, or positions that stand between agents, ideas, or social structures, highlighting the role of mediation in causal or communicative chains.

Noting the term’s variability, readers should rely on field-specific glossaries for precise definitions and preferred translations.
