Incurrida

Incurrida is a feminine singular past participle formed from the Spanish verb incurrir, meaning to incur or to bring upon oneself, typically in the sense of becoming liable for costs, obligations, or liabilities. As an adjective, incurrida modifies feminine nouns and is commonly found in legal, financial, and formal writing.

Etymology and forms: Incurrir comes from Latin incurrere, literally “to run into” or “to bring upon.” The participle incurrida agrees in gender with the noun it describes (for example, deuda incurrida, gastos incurridos). In Portuguese, the corresponding feminine form is incorrida, reflecting a parallel but distinct evolution of the verb incorrer.

Usage and contexts: In everyday Spanish, incurrida appears mainly in formal or technical contexts such as accounting, contracts, and legal documents, where one states that certain expenses, liabilities, or obligations have been incurred. It is not used as a stand-alone noun; rather, it functions as an adjective within noun phrases. The related masculine form incurrido or masculine plural incurridos is used when describing masculine-headed terms.

Translations and equivalents: In English, the equivalent is incurred, as in “incurred expenses” or “incurred debt.” In other Romance languages, similar past participles exist with gendered forms, reflecting respective grammar rules.

See also: incur, incurrence, incurring, incurrence of costs. The term is primarily found in Spanish and, less commonly, in legal or financial texts translated from Spanish.
