What Does Época Mean in Spanish?

As a native English speaker learning Spanish, I often come across words that are perfectly normal in Spanish but do not have a direct everyday equivalent in English. Época is a good example.

In Spanish, época is commonly used to talk about a period of time, a stage in life, or a historical era. In English, we usually choose a more specific word depending on the context.

This is one of those words I enjoy learning because it shows why translating word for word does not always work. Understanding the idea behind a word is often more useful than memorizing a single English equivalent.
