Meaning of infestar




Danilo Enrique Noreña Benítez

infestar
  20

It means invading or completely filling some place with something that is harmful or harmful, especially referring to a place where there are animals or plants that are vulnerable.

  




furoya

Invade in large quantities, provided that the invader is considered harmful or dangerous; although in a broad sense and as irony it can be used for any case in which there is a crowd in a place. It is also used -and is endorsed by the RAE- as an infection by the "invasion of pathogenic microorganisms to the individual", but they have different origins where 'infesting' includes physical places such as fields or homes, and invaders of a visible size and even with the ability to retreat by themselves, from rats to soldiers. From the Latin infestare ("to be pernicious or harmful, to devastate, to vitiate, to corrupt")
