Antonyms
facilidad
The state or quality of being difficult; an obstacle or impediment that makes a task or situation hard to achieve or overcome. It can refer to a challenge or a period of hardship or trouble. Dificultad can also encompass a broader concept of internal or external struggle, exertion, or the inherent demanding nature of something, a nuance that often requires a more descriptive phrase in English rather than a single equivalent word.
