Alevestrado

Question

Heard a native speaker use the word "alevestrado" today. She wasn't really able to give a good definition (it's negative -- that much I can tell). This word does not appear in any available Spanish dictionary. Can anybody help me with the meaning of this word?

Answer 1

I think it should be alebrestado...literally acting like a hare (una liebre). According to the RAE dictionary, it can mean many things depending on region, from being agitated, to being slightly drunk, or even a bit "randy".

alebrestado, da.

1 adj. Col. alborotado (? que obra sin reflexión).

2 adj. Col. Que muestra ensoberbecimiento.

3 adj. Cuba y Hond. Que se enamora con frecuencia.

4 adj. El Salv. Ligeramente ebrio.

5 adj. El Salv. Sexualmente excitado.

6 adj. jerg. El Salv. Enfadado, enojado.

That sounds right! Thanks! - atrovillion, Sep 13, 2011

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I have never heard of that word... Sorry!
