investidura; toma de posesión: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recomienda el sustantivo "investidura", y no "inauguración", como adecuado para referirse a la acción de conferir una dignidad o cargo importante. El término "toma de posesión" es una alternativa apropiada también. 4, record 1, Spanish, - investidura
