Accedido

Accedido is the past participle of the Spanish verb acceder. It functions as a verb in compound tenses (haber accedido) and can also be used as an adjective, agreeing in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The sense of acceder often centers on gaining entry, permission, or agreement, depending on context.

Etymology and form: Acceder comes from Latin accēdere, formed from ad- (toward) and cēdere (to go, to yield). The participle accedido appears in modern Spanish as the regular form that accompanies haber in perfect tenses and, when used adjectivally, agrees with the noun (accedido, accedida, accedidos, accedidas).

Usage and senses: In the most common sense, acceder denotes gaining access to something, typically followed by the preposition a: acceder a un sitio, a un sistema, a una base de datos. Examples include: “La empresa permitió a los usuarios acceder al servicio” or “El usuario ha accedido a la base de datos.” The participle accedido is also used adjectivally to indicate that access has occurred or that permission has been granted, as in “archivo accedido por el auditor” or “permisos accedidos para ese recurso.” Additionally, acceder can take a sense of consent or compliance with a request or proposal, as in “acceder a una petición” or “acceder a un acuerdo.”

See also: acceder, acceso, consentimiento. Note that accedido is distinct from the noun acceso (the act or right of entering) and from other forms such as accedente, which are not standard in this verb’s paradigm.
