literal meaning of nacedor

Question

I know nacer is to be born. But nacedor wouldn't be the one who gives birth, because nacer is passive. So would nacedor be something like someone who is born again, like reincarnated?

I cannot find nacedor in my dictionary mate , Do you mean "nacido" a new born baby, or " naciendo " ? - ray76, Oct 8, 2016

I was reincarnated is " " Reencarño". - ray76, Oct 8, 2016

Answer 1

To be born in English is passive, but "nacer" in Spanish is merely intransitive.

I do not find any definition of "nacedor" anywhere on the net, but I do find it used, especially in regard to certain political figures such as Che Guevara. A "nacedor" to me would be someone who brings about a "birth" of something like a political movement.

I am a native speaker of Spanish, but there are some areas of literature that I haven't studied as yet, so in lieu of a definite definition, the best I can do is offer my opinion based on the context of what I read.

There are some real Spanish scholars on this site that pop up once in a while. I hope they will "pop up" now and either verify what I have said or something more concrete.

Answer 2

Perhaps the meaning relates to being a precursor or pionero.

To me nacedor is someone who creates something and uses it to make it massive, like a political movement.
