"Desenrascanço" na Wikipédia

Desenrascanço (...) is a Portuguese word used to express an ability to solve a problem without the adequate tools or proper technique to do so, and by use of sometimes imaginative resourcefulness when facing new situations. Achieved when resulting in a hypothetical good-enough solution. When that good solution escapes us we get a failure (enrascanço - entanglement). Most Portuguese people strongly believe it to be one of their most valued virtues and a living part of their culture.
