/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "pee" (as in "pea") + "too" (as in "tool") + "TAH" (as in "tar") + "doh" (as in "door")/
In Chile, someone who got their job or an opportunity through connections rather than actual merit. The apitutado walked in through the back door while everyone else waited in line, and the whole office knows it. A very loaded term in a country where who you know often matters more than what you know.
“That guy knows nothing about the role; the manager just handed it to him through connections.”
“Don't bother complaining; he got in through nepotism from day one and that's just how it is.”
