Usage Note
Estatura refers specifically to a person's height (mide dos metros de estatura) and, figuratively, to their moral or intellectual standing (un hombre de gran estatura moral). Do not confuse with altura (height in a general sense, altitude) — estatura is reserved for people, while altura can apply to anything.
