¿La libido o el libido?
Estimada Claudia:
Libido es un sustantivo de género femenino: la libido, tal como lo era en latín, lengua de la que procede. No existe el sustantivo en género masculino.
Saludos cordiales,

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
De la libido, el libido, la líbido y el líbido, el corrector del sistema solo da por inválido “la forma esdrújula, también frecuentemente escuchada,
“Libido” (con be) es un sustantivo femenino, que al ser palabra llana terminada en vocal no se acentúa gráficamente y significa ‘deseo sexual’.
Por el contrario “lívido, da” (con uve) es un adjetivo, masculino femenino, que por ser una palabra esdrújula lleva tilde y que significa: Amoratado. Muy pálido.
Si “libido” significa ‘deseo sexual’, entonces por qué no se dice el libido.
Freud aplica el nombre de libido (sin acento) a la energía sexual, que según su teoría impulsa nuestra vida en general, no solamente al impulso sexual concreto, esa energía que nos lleva a la conservación de la vida a la que llamó EROS, por contra existe en el ser humano una energía destructiva que nos impulsa a la destrucción incluyendo la propia. A esta energía negativa que se convierte en un impulso de muerte la llamó TANATOS, Recordemos que los impulsos no son otra cosa que cargas de energía que nos impelen a conseguir algo, por eso pienso que cuando hablamos de la libido nos referimos a la energía cual que impulsa nuestra vida y por eso le damos el artículo femenino, independientemente de que para este sustantivo no existe el género masculino
Gracias por la.aclaración.??
William “Si “libido” significa ‘deseo sexual’, entonces por qué no se dice el libido.”… jaja…
O sea que si “luna” significa ‘satélite que rota en torno de la tierra’, debería decirse ‘el luna’…
Rolo, explíquele a William no se le burle. Expuso una opinión quizás errónea, pero es bueno que todos podamos pensar y decir lo que pensamos. Perdón si me equivoqué y no se trató de una burla.
Sr. William, es un significado como puede haber decenas de ellos para un mismo vocablo. Solo el hecho de q en cualquier idioma los significados de cada palabra divergen de poco a bastante (o incluso nada q ver) revela q no hay ninguna palabra q esté sujeta a un significado totalmente exacto, y menos cuando incluso ese significado (no solo el vocablo) varía entre regiones o zonas.
Entonces si no es palabra esdrújula como lívido que si se acentúa, es una palabra femenina grave y el acento no es ortográfico y está en la 2a sílaba?
Yo me quedo con la explicación de Jorge de la Cuesta ya que busca el origen y denotación de la palabra en cuestión. Creo que podemos hacerlo regla general, sin dejar a un lado la excepción que siempre acompaña a ésta.
Dentro de la misma dirección de Jorge buscando el origen de la palabra, le comentaría a Rolo en su ejemplo de luna siendo un satélite, por qué no llamarla el luna? Argumento que la palabra satélite “proviene del latín “satelles”, “satellĭtis” que se usaba originalmente para referirse a la guardia o escolta del rey. A partir de allí, se comenzó a emplear para designar lo que está en torno o alrededor de algo.
Considerando que es la guardia y la escolta, la luna como satélite tiene sentido.
Saludos.
