RAE Adds About 330 Words in Online Dictionary Update, Including 'Streaming' and 'Milenial'

The interim release follows a consultative process with the 23 academies ahead of a fuller 24th edition in 2026.

Overview

  • Version 23.8.1 of the Diccionario de la Lengua Española is now live at dle.rae.es with new entries and revised senses.
  • Additions reflect digital usage and slang such as loguearse, simpa, turismofobia and the colloquial sense of brutal as “magnificent.”
  • Unadapted foreign terms appear in italics, adapted forms in roman, and the RAE recommends etiqueta in place of hashtag.
  • Scientific and technical vocabulary expands with items like gravitón, termoquímico, exoesqueleto, narcoléptico and the shorthand eco for ecografía.
  • Regional input broadens coverage with Latin American terms such as morro and cubetera, while vocatives like bro remain under study.
