Expelido

Expelido is the past participle of the Portuguese verb expelir, meaning to eject, expel, or discharge. It is used both as a passive construction and as an adjective, agreeing in gender and number with the noun it describes: expelido (masculine singular), expelida (feminine singular), expelidos (masculine plural), and expelidas (feminine plural). In everyday and formal language, it commonly appears in contexts such as disciplinary actions, legal notices, or physical processes.

In usage, expelir is employed to indicate removal or ejection from a space, institution, or system. Examples include: “Foi expelido da escola” (He was expelled from school) and “o ar expelido pela válvula” (the air discharged by the valve). The term can also describe liquids or gases that have been discharged or emitted, as in “substâncias expelidas pelo processo.” The nuance is often one of forceful removal or expulsion.

Etymology and related forms: expelido derives from Latin expellere, through the Portuguese expelir. The word is closely related to expulsar, the more common verb for expulsion in many contexts. In Spanish, expelido exists but is rare and generally considered archaic or regional; the standard modern equivalent is expulsado.

See also: expelir, expulsar, expulsão. Notes on usage can vary by region and register, but expelido remains the standard participle in Portuguese for describing something that has been expelled, ejected, or discharged.
