Completely settled in and comfortable somewhere with zero intention of moving, like you've taken root. In Spain, apalancado describes that person who's been parked on the sofa for three hours, or the houseguest who's been around for two weeks and clearly isn't leaving.
“He's been planted on the couch all Sunday watching shows, hasn't even moved to get water.”
“She stayed settled at that company for ten years without looking for anything better.”

Puntal
The key pillar, the person who holds everything together. Used in Mexico and Central America. Calling someone a puntal means they are indispensable: remove them and the whole structure, whether a team, a family, or a project, starts to fall apart. It is one of the highest things you can say about someone's role in a group.
