Correlati

Correlati is an Italian term that functions as the plural masculine form of the adjective correlato and, in many contexts, as a common adjective meaning related or correlated. As an adjective it agrees with the noun it modifies: for example, risultati correlati (related results) or elementi correlati (related elements). The feminine plural form is correlate, as in parole correlate (related words).

Usage and meanings can be understood across several domains. In linguistics and semantics, correlato describes relations between items or concepts. In statistics and data analysis, correlati refers to variables or factors that show a correlation with a phenomenon or with each other; examples include “variabili correlate” or “correlati statistici.” In information retrieval and publishing, phrases such as “articoli correlati” or “documenti correlati” indicate content that is related to a given item.

Grammatical notes help clarify usage. Correlati appears in masculine plural contexts, while correlate appears in feminine plural contexts. The word derives from Latin correlatus, via the Italian verb correlare, meaning to relate or connect.

Etymology and context. Correlati originates from correlare and the Latin root correlatus, reflecting its ongoing role in describing relationships, associations, or dependencies between items, data points, or concepts. It is commonly found in Italian-language texts across science, library science, media, and everyday discourse, typically as part of phrases rather than as a standalone subject.
