ralentizar; lentificar; enlentecer; relentizar: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "ralentizar", con a en la primera sílaba, y no "relentizar", es el verbo que significa 'imprimir lentitud a alguna operación o proceso, disminuir su velocidad'. [...] A pesar del uso extendido del vocablo "relentizar", el término adecuado y recogido en el Diccionario de la lengua española es "ralentizar", sinónimo de "lentificar" y de "enlentecer".
