(The concept of 'pecado' can encompass moral and spiritual dimensions that may not be captured by a single English word.)
A transgression or offense, especially one against religious or moral law; a sin. While 'sin' is often the closest English equivalent, 'pecado' carries a broader connotation of a moral failing or wrongdoing that goes against a divine or ethical code, encompassing not just specific acts but also states of being or thought that are considered ethically or spiritually wrong. It often implies a sense of guilt or a break from a desired state of purity or righteousness. It can also refer more generally to any serious fault or mistake.
