Usage Note
Precisión is a feminine noun meaning both 'precision' (exactness of measurement or detail) and 'accuracy' in a practical sense. The phrase con precisión ('with precision') is widely used. It should not be confused with necesidad in older literary Spanish, where precisión could mean 'necessity' — a false cognate trap for English readers of classic texts.
Examples
"El reloj funciona con gran precisión."
Natural Translation
The watch works with great precision.
