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.
