Desenrascanço no Wikipedia

Até no Wikipedia...

Desenrascanço is a Portuguese word rarely used in common language, and just in certain specific contexts and situations, by some people in some regions of Portugal. It is 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. Obviously, they are aware that this subjective feature is not an exclusive of theirs.
