unificó

Unificó is the third-person singular form of the Spanish verb unificar in the pretérito indefinido (pretérito perfecto simple). It denotes a completed action in the past in which multiple elements were brought into a single unit. The form is commonly used in historical, political, organizational, or technical narratives to describe events such as the unification of territories, systems, or standards.

Etymology and morphology: unificar comes from Latin unificare (unus + facere), through the Spanish verb formation. In the pretérito indefinido, the verb shows a regular -car pattern in the yo form, which yields unifiqué; the third-person singular is unificó, with the acute accent on the final syllable to indicate stress. Other principal forms include yo unifiqué, tú unificaste, nosotros unificamos, vosotros unificasteis, ellos unificaron.

Usage notes: Unificó emphasizes a decisive, completed act of making things one. It is more common in formal or written language than in casual speech. Examples include: “El líder unificó los territorios” or “La empresa unificó sus procesos.” It is distinct from the noun unificación (the process or result of unifying) and from the verb unificar in its infinitive form.
