Usage Note
Salvajismo denotes extreme brutality or uncivilized behavior, typically used in moral or political condemnation (un acto de puro salvajismo, an act of pure savagery). The root adjective is salvaje (wild, savage). It is stronger and more literary than brutalidad, which is its closest everyday synonym.
