A district, especially in Spanish, Portuguese, or Spanish American contexts; an administrative division or region.
Spanish and Portuguese from Latin districtus (district). Used throughout Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions for administrative and geographic divisions.
While English speakers say 'district,' Spanish and Portuguese speakers say 'distrito'—this is exactly the same Latin root word, just following different language evolution paths, like cousins who inherited the same family treasure but display it differently.
