notional
Significado: Existing only as an idea or concept rather than in reality; hypothetical or theoretical.
Notional describes something that exists in theory or as an abstract idea but may not correspond to reality. In finance, a notional amount is a theoretical value used for calculation purposes (e.g., in derivatives). In everyday usage, it suggests something speculative or imagined rather than concrete. It collocates with 'value,' 'boundary,' 'figure,' and 'concept.'
