crítico

/ˈkɾitiko/ · B1 · adj

critical, judgmental

🧐 crítico = critic + critical; same Greek root kritikos, able to judge

From Greek kritikós, able to judge, from krínein, to separate or decide. The same root gives crisis, the deciding moment, which is why crítico covers both the judgmental critic and a critical, make-or-break situation.
