I believe saquéela is a form of the Spanish verb "sacar," which can
have several meanings. If you could give us a sample sentence, I'm
sure a Researcher will be able to tell you the meaning of the word in
the context of that sentence.

Hola buffo,

  I'm going to risk this one, as my friend pinkfreud is correct - a
sentence would be helpful. As I will be going out shortly, I'll give
you two words.

I believe your word is "saquear", meaning to loot, or to plunder.
Type in "saquear" into the search box, without the quotation marks:

pinkfreud is close, this verb is often confused with "sacar", to take
off, to remove"

The difference is the extra "e", giving us an extra syllable.

Saquéela is the imperative form, telling someone to "Ransack it" "Pillage it"
The "la" is the article part of the word. As you know, in Spanish you
often add the article to the verb. If you were to tell your son to
take off his sweatshirt, you would say "Sáquela"  (Sáh-kay-la). The
"la" refers to the sweatshirt.(Sudadera) If it were his watch you
wanted him to take off, you would say "Saquelo")

If a band of pirates were attacking a ship, the "head" pirate might
shout "Saquéela !" meaning "Ransack the boat!". The "la" refers here
to "lancha" or boat. (Sah-KAY-eh-la)

If the article is masculine, you'd need to change the "la" to a "lo" 
Remove the book from the table = Saquelo de la mesa

Sacar = To remove  This is an irregular verb, which is why it is easy
to confuse with "saquear"

Saquear = to ransack, sack, plunder (No accent on the infinitive form)

Hope this is understandable! I speak Spanish, but find it difficult to explain!

What would be the formal future tense conjugation of the phrase "you
take it out" (command), as in "sáquela Usted"(feminine gender)? Would
this not be "saquéela," the informal being "sácala tú?"

Great answer! I had "sacar" and "saquear" confused. Blame my San
Antonio Tex-Mex Spanish. ;-)

rdxjohn -
There is no future or past tense for the imperative form in Spanish.
Anyway, there would never be a double 'e' in the conjugation of the
verb 'sacar'.
