Particionades

Particionades is a Catalan term that functions as the feminine plural past participle of the verb particionar. In grammar, it is used as an adjective or passive participle to describe entities that have been divided into parts or sections. It agrees with feminine plural nouns, as in zones particionades or terres particionades.

Etymology: The form derives from Latin partitio, meaning a division, through the Catalan verb particionar, itself formed from partir, “to split.”

Usage and context: Particionades appears in formal, technical, and descriptive writing. Common domains include geography and urban planning (zones particionades, regions particionades), law and property delimitation, and data management (dades particionades) where information is organized into partitions.

Notes on language: In Catalan, the corresponding masculine singular is particionat, feminine singular particionada, masculine plural particionats, and feminine plural particionades. The term is typically used as an attribute to describe something that has been divided, rather than as a standalone noun.

Related terms: particionar (to partition), partició (partition, noun), dades particionades (partitioned data). In other Romance languages, cognates such as particionadas exist in Spanish or Portuguese with parallel meanings.
