mótorado

Mótorado is a term originating from the Filipino language, specifically Tagalog, used to describe the condition of something being damaged, broken, or in a state of disrepair. It often refers to physical objects that have malfunctioned or are no longer in their optimal working condition. This can range from a household appliance that has stopped working to a vehicle that is inoperable. The word implies a significant degree of damage or malfunction, suggesting that the object is either completely unusable or requires substantial repair.

The term "mótorado" is commonly used in informal everyday conversation. Its usage is widespread across the Philippines and can be applied to a variety of situations. For example, if a refrigerator stops cooling, one might say it has become "mótorado." Similarly, a computer that crashes frequently or a bicycle with a broken chain could also be described as "mótorado." The word itself is believed to be derived from the Spanish word "motor," indicating a connection to mechanical devices and their function. When something is mótorado, it signifies a loss of its intended purpose or functionality, often due to wear and tear, accident, or neglect.
