Excedido

Excedido is the participle of the verb exceder in Spanish and Portuguese, used as an adjective meaning that something has gone beyond a limit, quota, or standard. It derives from Latin excedere, with ex- meaning “out” and cedere meaning “to go.”

In Spanish usage, excedido commonly describes amounts, time, or capacities that have been surpassed. For example, the budget quedo excedido (the budget was exceeded) and las horas excedidas (the hours that exceeded the limit). In technical or administrative contexts, phrases such as límite excedido (exceeded limit) or crédito excedido (exceeded credit) appear to indicate that a quota or constraint has been surpassed.

In Portuguese usage, excedido carries a similar meaning. Expressions such as gasto excedido (exceeded expenditure) and orçamento excedido (budget exceeded) are standard, as are references to time or quotas that have been surpassed. The term denotes a state resulting from surpassing a limit, rather than the action of surpassing itself, which is expressed by exceder.

Related terms include excesso (excess), excedente (surplus), and superar (to surpass). Distinctions include the verb form exceder for the action, and the adjective participle excedido for the resulting state. Excedido is common in financial, administrative, and technical writing, where limits, deadlines, and capacities are described as having been exceeded.
