monopolio: 1º_ It is a market practice by which a company monopolizes the offer of a product or service exclusively. By extension it is used in other areas, to indicate the exercise of an activity that corresponds to a single authority. It comes to us from the Latin monopol?um, which evidently takes from the Greek 956; 959; 957; 959; 960; 969; 955; 953; 959; 957; ( monopolion ) because it is formed by 956; 959; 957; 959; ( monkey "only, unique" ) 960; 969; 955; 949; 969; ( poléo "sell" ) . 2º_ 'Monopoly' (in the original English 'Monopoly') is a board game that simulates the sale of real estate. It is based on the game The Landlord's Game (Elizabeth Magie, 1903), which directly or indirectly inspired others besides this one, which is the American version created by Charles Darrow in 1935.

lección: It has several meanings, but all originate in that of "reading", "interpretation of a text", by which it was then taken as "learning through a study", and also to "each class, teaching taught by a teacher". From there he took the sense of "teaching that life situations give, and that make us better people". Returning to the original concept, it is also each part, chapter in some books, that may be religious or academic topics for exposition.

gallarda: 1º_ Renaissance dance of Italian origin, of live step that can be part of others. 2º_ Masturbation. Possibly it comes from the previous one, for the improvised dance and with jumps, but it can also be a variation of its synonym gayola ("cage, jail") because it is a habitual way to pass the time when you are locked up. 3º_ It is a somewhat derogatory form of chicken. 4º_ Feminine of gallardo ("haughty, bizarre") .
tango: 1º_ Music, poetry and dance typical of the Río de la Plata region. The name seems to be of African origin, and is understood as "dance place". 3º_ It is a type of flamenco style. 4º_ It is another name for the game of chito; by the old verb tañer ("to touch") , because when playing the yew to the cylinder is sung "tango" ("verbs / toco") and the bet coins are won. 5º_ Inflection of the verb tangar ("to swindle").

minga: I add to the definitions given the meaning lunfarda: in the Río de la Plata it is used as an expression (rather, an exclamation) to deny, despise, also try to "little" and even "nothing" the value of something. The origin is not entirely clear, but it most likely comes from some Italian dialects where minchia is interpreted as "mierda", and is used just as in Spanish and lunfa. Although a cross with Mink'a Quechua can be suspected, already known in South America and explained by colleagues JOHN and Jorge Luis Tovar Díaz, which is associated by the euphemism of using 'minga' not for a community work but to do among several a poorly paid task, "where they are paid minga". I take this opportunity to mention that the use of swear words as an exclamation is very common, so the meaning published by Ferdinand could also be related to this lunfarda.
revinar: It is also an archaism because of the mixture of old wine in the new. [Note: I was thinking if the definition of Cayetano Peláez del Rosal comes from a misinterpretation of some meaning of revenir, but I do not think. It is easier to associate with reviewing. ] By some mistake see rebinar ("binar twice") .

claro: I add a widely used meaning, which is that of "obvious, easy to understand".
