Definition of

swollen

The term henchido is not part of the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). Yes, we can find the notion of filler , which refers to that which is capable of filling : filling, occupying a space until its capacity is complete.

swollenSomething swollen, therefore, is full or full . For example : “Full with pride, the singer opened the doors of his house to present his baby” , “My heart is full of happiness since I met my boyfriend” , “It's a good album, but it's full of sounds of guitars that take center stage from the rest of the instruments.”

Other words that function as synonyms for the term swollen that concerns us now are full, replete, overflowing or plethoric. On the contrary, among those that act as antonyms we can highlight some such as empty or lacking.

Many times there is confusion between the notion of swelling and the concept of swelling . Swelling refers to an increase in the volume of a body; the filling, the total occupation of a space. Only in some cases can swelling and swelling coincide, or swelling can cause something to become swollen.

The verb fill is usually used symbolically with a positive connotation . In this way, if it is said that an individual is filled with glory , it means that he or she is filled with honor, fame or recognition.

Suppose that a young man completes a university degree, graduating with the highest average in his course. For this he receives a medal of honor and is congratulated by the academic authorities. The boy's father, bursting with pride , tells all his family, friends, co-workers and neighbors about his son's achievement. He also frames a photograph of the moment he receives the medal and hangs it in the living room of his house.

The word swollen is also used in different hymns and songs. An example of this is the anthem of the Spanish Infantry, which premiered at the beginning of the 20th century and was written by the brothers José and Jorge de la Cueva. It is titled “Ardor Guerrero” and its lyrics begin this way: “Ardor Guerrero vibrates in our voices and our hearts are filled with national love.”

In the same way, on numerous occasions it is used together with the term happiness. In that case, some good examples could be the following: “Manuel is filled with happiness on his wedding day because he has managed to marry the woman he loves” and “Lucía is filled with happiness after seeing her daughter's little face.” "he has just been born."

In addition to everything indicated, we cannot ignore the fact that the term in question is also used in the world of video games. A good example of this is the video game called “Spyro The Dragon”, which has its origins in the 90s and stars the character that gives it its name.

In that game there is a trophy that responds precisely to the title of Henchido and that takes place in different settings, such as a bouncy castle.
