Lançado

Lançado is a Portuguese word that can be translated to "launched" or "released" in English. It is the past participle of the verb lançar, which means to throw, send, or start something into motion. The term is commonly used in various contexts, including technology, sports, and media.

In technology, "lançado" refers to the act of releasing a new product, software, or service. For example, a new smartphone model might be "lançado" by a tech company. In sports, it can describe the act of throwing or releasing an object, such as a javelin in the sport of javelin throw. In media, it can refer to the release of a film, book, or other creative work.

The term "lançado" can also be used in a figurative sense to describe something that has been started or initiated. For instance, a new project or initiative might be said to have been "lançado" by an organization.

The verb lançar itself has several other meanings, including to hire or employ someone, to promote or advance someone, and to cast or throw something. These meanings are derived from the original sense of throwing or sending something into motion.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the term "lançado" is also used to describe a type of sausage, typically made from pork and beef, and often served as a cold cut or in sandwiches. This usage is distinct from the general meaning of the word and is specific to Brazilian culinary terminology.
