unifiqué

Unifiqué is the first-person singular preterite indicative form of the Spanish verb unificar, meaning to unify, to bring together into a single unit. Used to describe a completed action in the past, it translates as "I unified" or "I brought together."

Etymology and meaning: Unificar derives from Latin unificare, from uni- "one" and facere "to make" (to make one). The sense is to combine diverse parts or groups into a single entity.

Morphology and spelling: As an -car verb, its spelling changes in the preterite first person: unifiqué. Other preterite forms are unificaste, unificó, unificamos, unificasteis, unificaron. The accent on unifiqué preserves the stress on the final syllable.

Usage: It can be used in historical, business, or organizational contexts to indicate that a process of unification was completed. It contrasts with present tense forms such as unifico and imperfect unificaba.
