Usage Note

Gregario functions as both adjective ('gregarious, sociable') and noun. In cycling (ciclismo), a gregario is a domestique—a team rider who sacrifices personal glory to support the leader—making it a key term in Spanish sports commentary. The adjective sense echoes the Latin root meaning 'of the flock', and instinto gregario ('herd instinct') is a common collocation.

Examples

"Es una persona muy gregaria."

Natural Translation
