incidente : La Fundación del Español Urgente(Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que incidente no es un término sinónimo de accidente, problema, avería, etc. Incidente, según define el Diccionario CLAVE, es el "hecho o suceso que repercute, que altera el normal desarrollo de algo"; también significa "disputa, riña, pelea entre dos o más personas". Además, incidente se emplea con el significado de "hecho o suceso de carácter secundario que altera o interrumpe el normal desarrollo de algo". 3, record 1, Spanish, - incidente
