I am in a translating class and I can not find the definition for "Skopos" anywhere on the web. Please help! Thanks, Kelan

It has to do with translating from Spanish to English. I believe it is Greek.

Yup, Greek. The English "scope" (as a word or in compounds) come from this. - samdie, Feb 24, 2010

In Spanish words rarely, if ever, begin with "S" followed by another consonant.

SK, SR, ST, SM, etc. are almost never the beginning of words. I think the only time you'll even see a "K" in Spanish is in words borrowed from another language (kilo, etc.).

What language is it? "k" isn't a very common letter in Spanish?
