Emmagatzemada

Emmagatzemada is the feminine singular form of the Catalan past participle and adjective derived from the verb emmagatzemar, meaning stored or kept in storage. It describes feminine nouns that have been placed in storage or kept in reserve. The masculine counterpart is emmagatzemat, and the plural feminine form is emmagatzemades. The noun emmagatzematge refers to storage or a storage facility.

Etymology: the word arises from magatzem, meaning warehouse, which in turn traces to the Arabic makhzan (storehouse), with the prefix em- forming the verb emmagatzemar and the participle/adjective emmagatzemada for feminine agreement.

Usage: emmagatzemada is used in various contexts, including logistics, archiving, and computing. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun in gender and number: una mercaderia emmagatzemada, dades emmagatzemades, documents emmagatzemats. It can also function as a past participle with auxiliary verbs, as in estar: "Les dades estan emmagatzemades al servidor segur." In computing or data management, one speaks of dades emmagatzemades, còpies emmagatzemades, o fitxers emmagatzemats.
