desfase horario; desfasaje horario; desajuste horario; descompensación horaria; jet lag: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la expresión "desfase horario" es una denominación adecuada para sustituir a la voz inglesa "jet lag". [...] Para sustituir ese anglicismo, el Diccionario panhispánico de dudas propone usar la expresión "desfase horario" o [...] "desfasaje horario", variante también recogida en el Diccionario de la lengua española.
