reparo

objection

noun rreh-PAH-rroh Rare

Also means

scruple

Usage Note

Reparo most commonly appears in the plural reparos and in the construction poner reparos a algo ('to raise objections to something'). The phrase sin reparos ('without hesitation, without qualms') is a high-frequency idiom. In older or formal usage reparo can mean 'repair' or 'remedy', but this concrete sense has been largely displaced by reparación. Do not confuse with reparo as a first-person verb form of reparar ('to repair / to notice').

Examples

"No puso ningún reparo a la propuesta."

Natural Translation

He raised no objection to the proposal.
