Spanish, noun sense "townhouse". I see a small handful of cites that are true nouns, but none that really indicate what type of building it is. Ultimateria (talk) 04:05, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
- The Diccionario de la lengua española, entry adosado, -da states specifically that the adjective is also used as a masculine noun, but is mum about feminine use. In any case, as an adjective, used in a combination like casa adosada, it refers to a row house, one of several identical houses attached to each other at the sides. Used as a noun, provided it refers to a building and not something entirely different, it can hardly mean something else, given how language works. The Diccionario also states that the adjective is especially applied to a chalé, but one (or at least I) wouldn’t consider a typical townhouse a cottage or chalet. An image search for chalé adosado shows plenty of rows of townhouses, though. --Lambiam 10:41, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
