- The term deslinde, used in deslinde de responsabilidad, originally referred to the act of marking the physical boundaries between two pieces of land.
- In many Spanish-speaking countries, a waiver form for physical activities is often called a descargo de responsabilidad. The word descargo implies a 'discharge' or a clearing of a debt or obligation.
