köken: Past participle of acoplar (“to couple, to attach”). Equivalent to acoplar + -ado. The colloquial social meaning is a metaphor: just as a trailer is hitched to a vehicle, an acoplado is a person who attaches themselves to a social group, event, or couple, often without a direct invitation.
Al final vino al cine de acoplado porque no tenía otro plan.
köken: From roffia (“dirt”), from Old High German hruf (“eschar, crust”). Cognate with Icelandic hrufla (“to scratch”), English ruffle. Alternatively from Vulgar Latin *rufianus, from rūfus (“red”).
