Usage Note
Señalado has two related senses: it can mean marked or designated (as in a día señalado, a red-letter day), or it can mean notorious, distinguished, or singled out. A delincuente señalado is a known or notorious criminal. The context usually makes clear whether the sense is celebratory or accusatory. It derives from the verb señalar (to point out, to mark).
