Usage Note

Inequívoco means leaving no room for doubt or misinterpretation, and it is the adjective from which the adverb inequívocamente is derived. Note the written accent on the first 'i' — it is in-e-quí-vo-co with stress on the third syllable from the end. It is a formal word, more common in written registers than spoken Spanish, where claro or evidente would typically be used instead.

Examples
