Someone seasoned is experienced.
Avezado is a concept that comes from avezar , a verb that is linked to the fact of accustoming or getting used to . As an adjective, seasoned allows you to describe someone who has experience in something.

Examples of seasoned individuals
For a subject to be skilled in a certain subject, he or she needs to be accustomed to it or have practice . Suppose a young man gets his driver's license and, the next day, his father gives him a car. For many months, the boy will be an inexperienced driver: he will make involuntary mistakes and will have to pay close attention to all traffic situations and his own vehicle. Ten years later, however, this individual will already be a skilled driver . The time spent in the car and the different events you have experienced as a driver will have given you enough experience so that you can be classified as an experienced motorist .
Being savvy is generally seen as an asset or advantage . It is assumed that a skilled worker will have more resources to solve problems and achieve achievements than an inexperienced worker. However, in order for someone to become skilled, they need to be able to perform the tasks in question. Therefore, if an inexperienced young man is given the opportunity to do the work , over the years he himself will become experienced.
Practice is essential to become skilled.
Experience and skill
Skill is one of the fundamental points of the concept of expert: although mere experience in a certain discipline makes us expert, the depth of the term is fully appreciated if a certain degree of talent is added. In this way, if they tell us that Juan is an experienced cook, we could infer that not only has he been in the business for a long time but that he is also very good.
As mentioned above, there is another nuance to take into account to define the term appropriately: no one is born skilled in a subject, but to reach such a state they must have the opportunity to dedicate themselves to it. In this sense we can say that it is not a synonym for talent , although they sometimes coexist: it is believed that talent is something innate and can facilitate learning in a certain field to become skilled, but practice does not lead to talent. .
