Usage Note

Popularidad is an abstract feminine noun used without an article in many fixed expressions (ganar popularidad — to gain popularity). It is formed from popular + -idad, a productive suffix that forms abstract nouns. Note that popular in Spanish can mean 'working-class' or 'of the people' as well as 'popular/well-liked,' so popularidad may carry either nuance depending on context.

Examples

"Su popularidad creció con los años."
