Flexionada

Flexionada is the feminine form of the adjective or participle derived from flexionar, meaning that something has been flexed or is in a bent position. The term is used across different domains to describe a state or form produced by bending or inflection.

In anatomy and medicine, flexionada refers to a position or condition where a joint is bent. For example, a knee or elbow can be described as flexionada when the limb is positioned with an acute angle. The expression is common in clinical notes, physical therapy, and descriptions of posture or movement, often accompanied by a degree of bend (e.g., 90 graus de flexão).

In linguistics and grammar, flexionada designates a word form that results from inflection. This includes variations that express tense, person, number, gender, mood, or case. For instance, in Portuguese, verbs have flexion, and nouns and adjectives inflect for gender and number, producing flexionadas such as cas as (plural) or menina (feminine singular). The concept emphasizes that the word bears marks of grammatical change rather than remaining in a base, uninflected form.

Usage considerations include gender agreement and context. The masculine counterpart is flexionado, and the plural forms are flexionadas when describing multiple items. Overall, flexionada covers both physical bending in anatomy and morphologic inflection in language, depending on the domain.
