Usage Note

Comparación is used in the fixed phrase en comparación con (in comparison with) and the literary simile marker como or a modo de comparación. The verb is comparar. Note the written accent on the final syllable, which shifts in the plural: comparaciones (the accent disappears because the word now ends in -s with penultimate stress).
