Descontados

Descontados is the plural form of the past participle descontado in Spanish and Portuguese, used mainly as an adjective or passive participle derived from the verb descontar (to discount, to deduct, to subtract). The term is commonly employed to describe amounts or items that have been subtracted from a total, such as el precio descontado (the discounted price) or los importes descontados de impuestos (the amounts deducted from taxes).

In accounting and finance, descontar also refers to the discounting of financial instruments; for example, cheques descontados or títulos descontados describe checks or securities that have been monetized at a discount by a bank or broker. The noun form descontados is less common and is highly context-dependent; when used, it may refer to items that have undergone discounting or, in some sentences, to people who have had deductions applied.

Grammatically, descontados can describe something that has been subtracted or reduced, as in gastos descontados or contribuciones descontadas. The term is widely understood in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking contexts, though usage can vary across economies and sectors.

There is no widely recognized separate concept or proper noun named Descontados; it is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone term. Related terms include desconto, descontar, desconto bancário, and deducible.
