Oh yes,

OXFORD SPANISH<>ENGLISH DICTIONARY. BTW as someone already brought out in one of the other replies, usually the term is left in Spanish.

esdrujula

Explanation:
A word that is "esdrujula" is one where the natural stress of it falls on the third to last syllable. For example:

cómelo
único

These types of words always have a written accent.

Yes, esdrújula is also esdrújula. But in English, since we don\'t use the accent, I put \"esdrujula\" :-)

proparoxytone (esdrújula)

Explanation:
This is the technical term, but I have often seen the Spanish word used untranslated.

I would favour this English word (albeit almost Greek!), ahead of the Spanish one, since I have only used \"palabra esdrújula\" used in an \"English\" text when referring to Spanish language. Proparoxytone is more general than this, and anyway I think it merits a bit of usage - such a lovely word!

Sorry - just noticed this is supposed to be English to Spanish! So I would put esdrújula if this is really the case
