Inferida

Inferida is a term that appears principally in Romance-language contexts as the feminine singular past participle form of the verb inferir, meaning inferred or deduced. In languages such as Portuguese, inferida agrees with feminine nouns and is used to describe information, conclusions, or statements that have been derived through reasoning rather than direct observation. The masculine counterpart in these languages is inferido, with other agreement forms following standard gender and number rules.

In scholarly and technical writing, inferida is commonly employed to differentiate between what is directly measured or observed and what is inferred from available data or reasoning. For example, a researcher might report a “conclusão inferida a partir dos dados” to indicate a conclusion drawn rather than experimentally established. Because it is a participial adjective, inferida typically appears close to the noun it modifies and must agree in gender with that noun.

In English-language discussions, inferida rarely appears as a distinct term except when quoting or translating texts from Romance languages. When translating into English, translators commonly render inferida as inferred or deduced, depending on the context.
