Usage Note

Vínculo describes an emotional, legal, or social bond between people or things. Vínculos familiares are family ties; vínculo contractual is a contractual obligation. In computing, vínculo is used for a hyperlink. The accent on the first syllable is essential — without it, vinculo would be the first-person present of the verb vincular.

Examples

"Existe un vínculo muy fuerte entre los dos hermanos."
