Usage Note
Apego denotes an emotional bond or strong attachment to a person, place, or thing (apego a la familia, apego al pasado). In psychology it corresponds directly to the English term 'attachment' (teoría del apego = attachment theory). The related verb is apegarse a (to become attached to). It is not to be confused with pegamento (glue).
