Also means
historical
Usage Note
Histórico is a near-cognate but worth distinguishing: in Spanish, both 'historic' (momentous) and 'historical' (belonging to history) are rendered as histórico. Context makes the meaning clear: un momento histórico ('a historic moment') vs un análisis histórico ('a historical analysis'). Note the written accent on the antepenultimate syllable, making it esdrújula.
