Rare enough to double-check
covado is uncommon Portuguese outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "que tem concavidade, que é covo".
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for covado, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct Portuguese form is covado, spelled C-O-V-A-D-O.
