Did you know?
- In Spanish, the term representación is used for both a legal proxy and a theatrical performance, meaning the same word covers 'acting on behalf of' and 'acting in a play'.
- While representación is used for legal proxies, in many Spanish-speaking legal systems, the person acting on your behalf is often called an apoderado, which comes from the verb apoderar (to give power).
- The word declaración shares a distant ancestor with the English word 'clear', as both trace back to the Latin root for 'making something bright or clear'.
