Descriptions & Qualities Appearance

Origin: From Latin robustus, from robur (oak, strength).

Also means

sturdy

Usage Note

Robusto describes physical sturdiness (a estructura robusta) but is widely extended to systems, arguments, economies, and flavours (un café robusto). The feminine form is robusta. Unlike fuerte (strong), robusto specifically suggests solid, durable construction or composition — it's the word you reach for when something is built to withstand stress.

Examples

"Necesitamos un sistema robusto para evitar fallos."

Natural Translation

We need a robust system to avoid failures.
