recuestas

Recuestas is a term with multiple potential meanings in Spanish-language contexts. It can denote a verb form, a place name, or a surname, depending on usage and region. Because it does not refer to a single, widely recognized concept, its meaning must be inferred from context.

In linguistic usage, recuestas is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb recostar (also recuestar), meaning to lay down or to recline. It is used transitively with an object, as in Tú recuestas la cabeza en la almohada.

In geography and onomastics, Recuestas may appear as a toponym or as part of a surname. Place names with this element are found in some Spanish-speaking regions and typically reflect local geographic features, such as slopes or rises, though the precise origin varies by location. As a surname, Recuestas is uncommon.
