vicesecretario

deputy secretary

noun bee-seh-seh-kreh-TAH-ryoh Rare

Usage Note

Vicesecretario follows the standard Spanish pattern of vice- (second in command) combined with secretario. The feminine is vicesecretaria. The prefix vice- is written solid (no hyphen) in modern Spanish orthography, so forms like vice-secretario are now considered outdated. The title appears across political parties, trade unions, and official bodies.

Examples

"El vicesecretario firmó el documento en ausencia del secretario."

Natural Translation

The deputy secretary signed the document in the secretary's absence.
