adjective DEN-soh Rare
Descriptions & Qualities Appearance

Origin: From Latin densus (thick, compact).

Also means

thick

Usage Note

Denso describes physical density (a dense forest, thick fog) and also abstract complexity (un texto denso = a dense/difficult text). It follows the standard four-form pattern: denso, densa, densos, densas. Do not confuse with espeso, which overlaps for liquids and fog but is less used for abstract difficulty.

Examples

"El bosque era tan denso que no pasaba la luz."

Natural Translation

The forest was so dense that no light came through.
