CRUZ, Miguel Dantas da. Pronunciamento/Pronunciamiento: etymological roots. Anál. Social [online]. 2023, n.247, pp.410-417. Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 0003-2573. https://doi.org/10.31447/as00032573.2023247.09.
Pronunciamentos or pronunciamientos (in Portuguese and Spanish, respectively) were common political events in several Ibero-American societies during the Age of Atlantic Revolutions. Known to the general public, these movements have been a recurring subject of research in academia for several decades. Yet, the precise meaning of the words Pronunciamiento and pronunciamento remains elusive, causing frequent confusion amongst historians from different countries and historiographic traditions. What, ultimately, was a pronunciamento? What did people refer to as a pronunciamento? This short essay constitutes an attempt to clarify these doubts, through a return to original sources that are often overlooked: the dictionaries of the time. The essay seeks to explore the lexicographical origins of the word pronunciamiento, as well as briefly pondering its incorporation into the political jargon of liberalism.
