Inexplicadas

Inexplicadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle of explicar in Spanish, used as an adjective meaning unexplained. It agrees with feminine plural nouns such as razones inexplicadas, circunstancias inexplicadas, or causas inexplicadas. The masculine plural form is inexplicados, and the singular forms are inexplicada (feminine) and inexplicado (masculine). The term is not a fixed title or proper noun; rather, it appears in standard Spanish as part of phrases that describe things that are not yet clarified or understood.

Origin and usage: The form derives from the prefix in- plus explicada, from explicar. It is common in journalism, scientific reporting, and everyday language to characterize data, events, or hypotheses as "inexplicadas" when explanations are lacking or disputed. In legal or investigative contexts, one may encounter expressions like "casos inexplicados" or "hechos inexplicados."

Examples: "Las causas de la falla siguen siendo inexplicadas." "El informe enumera varias circunstancias inexplicadas que requieren investigación adicional." In headlines, phrases such as "Investigación revela causas inexplicadas" illustrate its stylistic use to highlight unresolved elements.

Limitations: Although widely understood, inexplicadas is not a proper noun or formal title; its use is contextual and stylistic, aligning with the noun it modifies. It should be used with feminine plural nouns to maintain grammatical agreement when referring to multiple unexplained items. See also: explicada, explicación, explicación detallada.
