Recado is a term whose most distant etymological origin leads us to recapitāre , a Latin word. The concept is used to name the errand or assignment that is requested of someone.
For example: “I can't go play soccer, my mom left me some errands that I have to do this afternoon,” “I told Bautista that it was a very complex errand, but he didn't pay attention to me,” “The boss's errand .” “It took me all afternoon.”
errand boy
The existence in some companies of the aforementioned figure of errand boy (or, in some countries, errand boy ) cannot be overlooked. This is a worker who does a little of everything, in the sense that he is responsible for collecting packages or mail, making purchases and maintaining order in certain areas.
Precisely with that unique name, The Boy with the Errands , there is a collective of audiovisual filmmakers in Madrid that is responsible for producing and directing different projects of this type.
Colloquially it is also often said “I'm going to run some errands” . With that expression, anyone who expresses it means that they will leave home and their workplace to make various purchases or solve certain procedures that they have to undertake, among other things.
Thus, for example, it can be said that running errands can range from going to the shoemaker to have a pair of boots repaired to going to the supermarket to shop, going to the kiosk to buy the newspaper or stopping by the nearest police station to renew the Document. National Identity.
A communication or a message
A message is also a communication or message that is sent or said to a person: “Can I leave a message for Dr. Gutriope?” , “Fabián left me a message for you, he says to call him after four in the afternoon” , “There is no message for you, Mr. López” .
In this way, we can highlight the existence of telephone messages that, in any company, for example, are collected by people who work as secretaries when their superiors are not there and then can transmit them to them. Thus, they must take note of who made the call and the reason for it.
Other uses of the term message
The notion is used, on the other hand, to name the emotional memory that is available or manifested about an individual, the caution with which someone behaves and the set of utensils or tools that are required to carry out certain activities: “The president of the club sent a message to all the people who worked at the beginning of the institution” , “Be careful, handle yourself with a message to avoid problems” , “They gave me a gardening message to take care of the plants” .
In some countries , the term is used with reference to various foods or gastronomic ingredients . In this sense, depending on the region, it may be the filling of empanadas, a dressing that is used as a seasoning for meats or an aromatic plant used to season various dishes.
Recado, finally, is the implement used to ride horses.
