noun

el hombro

shoulder

Es la parte del cuerpo donde se unen el brazo y el torso, permitiendo mover el brazo en diferentes direcciones.

Hombro means shoulder: the part of the body where the arm joins the torso. It can also refer to the corresponding part of a garment.

Figuratively, it can suggest support or shared effort, as in “shoulder to shoulder.”

In a medical context, cintura escapular refers to the shoulder girdle, a broader anatomical structure rather than the shoulder itself.
There is no common exact synonym or antonym for the anatomical sense.

hombro con hombro — shoulder to shoulder; working together.
echarse algo al hombro — to put something over one’s shoulder; figuratively, to take on a responsibility.
encogerse de hombros — to shrug one’s shoulders.
