Aceleradas

Aceleradas is the feminine plural form of the adjective acelerado (and in Portuguese, of acelerada), used in Spanish and Portuguese to mean “accelerated” or “sped-up.” It functions as a descriptive attribute applied to feminine nouns or to groups described by those nouns, and it can appear in a variety of contexts from education to science.

In educational and professional contexts, aceleradas often describes programs, tracks, or modalities designed to be completed in a shorter timeframe than standard ones. Examples include modalidades aceleradas (accelerated modalities), rutas de estudio aceleradas (accelerated study paths), and cursos acelerados (accelerated courses). In scientific and technical language, the term is used with feminine nouns to denote processes or objects that have undergone acceleration, such as partículas aceleradas (accelerated particles) or trayectorias aceleradas (accelerated trajectories).

The meaning of aceleradas is thus context-dependent, reflecting a general notion of increased speed or shortened duration rather than pointing to a specific, fixed entity. The form is derived from the verb acelerar (to accelerate) and follows the standard feminine plural ending in both Spanish and Portuguese.
