In this case, we have to state that it is a word that derives from Latin, more specifically from \u201cacutus-a-um\u201d, which is the participle of the verb \u201cacuere\u201d.  A verb this that can be translated as \"to make pointed\".<\/p>\n<p>The adjective <strong>acute<\/strong> has more than a dozen meanings, according to what can be seen in the dictionary that elaborates the <strong>Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (<strong>RAE<\/strong>).  The first of these meanings refers to <strong>that which has a point or an edge<\/strong>.  For example: <em>\"Reaching the top of this mountain is very difficult because of its sharp peak\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/agudo.jpg\" alt=\"Acute\" width=\"208\" height=\"156\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-37717\" align=\"right\"\/>The notion of acute is also used to qualify the <strong>sense<\/strong> <strong>developed or alert<\/strong>: <em>\"I always had a keen ear: I am able to hear when a pin falls to the ground\"<\/em>, <em>\"Thanks to its sharp vision, this animal can detect prey hundreds of meters away\"<\/em>, <em>\"I need everyone to be alert and with keen senses to detect any abnormality\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Sharp, on the other hand, is <strong>something or someone opportune, sagacious or witty<\/strong>: <em>\"Edgar Allan Poe always seemed to me a very sharp writer, capable of generating emotions with each of his lines\"<\/em>, <em>\"The president dedicated a sharp message to the opposition leader\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When the <strong>adjective<\/strong> rate one <strong>disease<\/strong> or yet <strong>pain<\/strong>, refers to your <strong>intensity<\/strong>, its <strong>gravity<\/strong> or his <strong>short duration<\/strong>: <em>\"The actor recovers after suffering an acute heart attack while playing soccer with his friends\"<\/em>, <em>\"Due to an acute picture of pharyngitis, the singer had to suspend his concert tonight\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>sharp sounds<\/strong>, on the other hand, present a great <strong>frequency<\/strong> of vibrations, unlike those that qualify as <strong>grave<\/strong>.  High-pitched sounds thus occupy the highest ranges of the audible spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>In the field of phonetics, <strong>sharp words<\/strong> are those with <strong>accent<\/strong> in its last syllable (as <em>\"song\"<\/em> or <em>\"matrix\"<\/em>). <\/p>\n<p>Within the field of mathematics and geometry, the term acute is also used with great frequency.  In your case, it is used to refer to a specific type of angle.  More exactly we can say that the acute angle is the one that is formed by two rays with an amplitude greater than 0\u00ba and less than 90\u00ba.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way, we cannot forget that Agudo is also the name of a town in the province of Ciudad Real (Castilla la Mancha).  It is a municipality, belonging to the well-known Alcudia Valley, which has about 13,000 inhabitants and which has as tourist attractions both the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Estrella, dating from the 14th century, and the Casa del Comendador, from the XVI, or the Church of San Benito Abad.  A temple the latter that has its origin in the sixteenth century.<\/p>\n<p>Not forgetting that in Brazil, specifically in Rio Grande do Sul, there is also a municipality called Agudo.  It has about 17,000 residents, is located about 83 meters above sea level, is located in the south of the country and is considered to have a marked German origin.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;5146&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;acute&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing we are going to do to know the meaning&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5147,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-definition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5146"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5146\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5147"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
