Predicha

Predicha is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the verb predecir, used as an adjective meaning "predicted" or "foreseen." It agrees with feminine nouns, for example: una consecuencia predicha, las cifras predichas. The masculine form is predicho, and the plural forms are predichas (feminine) and predichos (masculine).

Etymology and morphology: predicha derives from predecir, itself built from the prefix pre- meaning before and the verb dicir (to say), aligned with the Spanish verbal system for forming passive or perfective descriptors.

Usage: predicha is typically used to describe an outcome, result, or characteristic that has been forecast by a model, theory, or prediction. It is not commonly used as a standalone noun; the usual noun for a forecast is predicción. In practice, predicha appears in phrases such as "resultados predichos por el modelo" or "la predicha tendencia," where it attributes foreseen qualities to a feminine noun.

Examples:

- Las cifras predichas por el modelo se verificaron.

- Se analizaron las causas de la predicha caída de la temperatura.

- El informe presenta las consecuencias predichas.
