the use of the word lisura

I just looked up lisura on the dictionary and it says "rude remark" but it also says "sincerity, smoothness". These two definitions seem contradictory. Can someone explain the proper use of the word lisura'

I looked this up:

rude remark (Andes, CAm, Venezuelan Spanish)

I had to as it is not used in Spain. It is only used as smoothness over here.

This is what the dictionary says:

lisura.

(De liso).

  1. f. Igualdad y tersura de la superficie de algo.

  2. f. Ingenuidad, sinceridad.

  3. f. Bol., Ec., Guat., Hond., Pan. y Perú. Palabra o acción grosera e irrespetuosa.

  4. f. Bol., Ec., Hond., Pan., Perú y Ven. Atrevimiento, desparpajo.

  5. f. Perú. Gracia, donaire.

And yes, you are quite right, very contradictory.

Sorry Hedita, I have no real context. I am just going through Spanishdict. trying to improve my vocabulary and I came across that seeming contradiction. I see now that it is a matter of the context in which it is used. I intend to move to Chile some day and I don't want to sound like an idiot when I get there. I have so much to learn. Thank you Bruce
