Origin: From Latin jubilatio (shout of joy).

Usage Note

Jubilación refers to retirement from work (the event or state) and to the pension received: cobrar la jubilación (to receive one's pension). The verb is jubilarse (to retire). Note that jubilación anticipada means early retirement — a common colocation. Contrast with pensión, which is the ongoing payment, while jubilación can refer to either the act of retiring or the pension itself.
