I agree with you I agree with you Sílvia in that point, that's why I said that our duty as a professional is to look for answers first, and then in case of any doubt ask here... but context is needed obviously, and he or she failed in that.

sflor,
He/She gave no context and when one wants to know the meaning of a single word the dictionnaire is the better option and the web has many....

Sílvia Sílvia,
The asker is from India. It's a little bit diffult for them to understand Portuguese words, specially technical terminology, and believe me, I know what I am saying :)
On the other hand, one should make an effort, and look for answers himself or herself, and since we're professionals, it's our duty.
Regards,
sflor

Have you thought about using a dictionnaire?
