DCVB gives Spanish equivalents not yet accepted by RAE

Skip to: comments (0); categories; related posts; previous/next post

The Catalan-Valencian-Balearic dictionary helpfully gives Spanish equivalents:

RESSALAR v. tr.
Tornar salar; salar excessivament; cast. resalar.

… that sometimes haven’t yet made it into the Royal Spanish Academy dictionary, either in the standard or the extended meaning–by analogy with “over-salted”, resalado/a is used familiarly for someone who is doubly delightful, gorgeous, and appears as such in Andalusian Caló dialogue in Blasco Ibáñez’s La horda (“resalá”).
