desorden

disorder

noun deh-SOR-den Rare

Also means

chaos

Usage Note

Desorden covers both physical mess and social or political chaos. Note that unlike most nouns ending in a consonant, its plural follows regular -es rules: desórdenes—and the stress shifts, requiring a written accent. Desórdenes públicos is a set phrase for civil disturbances.

Examples

"El desorden en la sala era evidente."

Natural Translation

The disorder in the room was evident.
