aceptación

acceptance

noun ah-sep-tah-SYOHN Rare

Origin: From Latin acceptatio, from acceptare (to accept).

Also means

approval

Usage Note

Aceptación can denote the act of accepting something (an offer, a situation) or the degree of approval or popularity something receives among a group, as in tuvo gran aceptación entre el público ('it was very well received by the audience'). The latter meaning — closer to 'reception' or 'uptake' — is a nuance that distinguishes it from the English cognate.

Examples

"La propuesta tuvo una buena aceptación entre los socios."

Natural Translation

The proposal was well received among the members.
