noun MOO-see-koh Less Common

Usage Note

Músico is the masculine; the feminine recommended by the RAE is la música, which coincides with música meaning 'music' — context disambiguates (es una gran música, 'she is a great musician'). The agent noun pairs with the adjective musical and shares its root with the instrument vocabulary. Stress falls on the first syllable thanks to the written accent.

Examples

"El músico tocó la guitarra toda la noche."

Natural Translation

The musician played the guitar all night.
