Desitjada

Desitjada is a Catalan feminine adjective meaning "desired" or "wished-for." It is the feminine singular form of the past participle desitjat, which comes from the verb desitjar, "to desire." The masculine singular form is desitjat, and the plural forms are desitjats (masc) and desitjades (fem).

Etymology and form: desitjada derives from desitjar and follows the standard Catalan pattern of forming adjectives from past participles. It aligns with gender and number of the noun it describes. The word shares its conceptual root with related Romance forms such as Spanish deseada/deseado and French désiré, all stemming from Latin desiderare.

Usage: desitjada is used to describe nouns that are sought after, coveted, or hoped for. Examples include: "La casa desitjada és al costat del parc" (the desired house is next to the park) and "Aquest producte és desitjat per molts consumidors" (this product is desired by many consumers). In literary or marketing contexts, the term can emphasize desirability or appeal.

See also: desitjar, desig, i desitjament. The term is primarily a grammatical and lexical feature of Catalan, and its meaning corresponds to the broader concept of desire expressed in related languages.
