Usage Note

Adecuación refers to the process of making something fit or suitable for a purpose — adapting a space, a law, a curriculum, or a process. It is closely related to the adjective adecuado ('adequate, appropriate'). The more technical synonym adaptación overlaps but adecuación carries a stronger sense of precise fit or compliance.

Examples

"La adecuación del local llevó varios meses."
