Usage Note

Denominado is the past participle of denominar used attributively — el denominado efecto invernadero ('the so-called greenhouse effect'). It often carries a distancing or labelling nuance similar to English 'so-called', and agrees in gender and number with its noun.

Examples

"El denominado líder no habló."

Natural Translation

The so-called leader did not speak.
