Recuperat

Recuperat is an adjective and past participle in Romanian, formed from the verb recupera, meaning to recover or to recuperate. It is used to describe someone or something that has regained health, condition, or function after illness, injury, or a period of impairment. In medical contexts, phrases such as "pacient recuperat" indicate that the patient has recovered sufficiently to resume normal activities; in rehabilitation or sports contexts, an athlete may be described as recuperat after an injury.

In terms of grammar, recuperat agrees with the noun it modifies. The masculine singular form is recuperat, the feminine singular is recuperată, and the plural forms are recuperați (masculine) and recuperate (feminine or mixed gender). The related noun is recuperare, which denotes the process or act of recovery, rehabilitation, or recuperation; examples include "perioadă de recuperare" (recovery period) and "program de recuperare" (recovery program). The adjective can also appear in figurative uses to indicate restoration or renewal, such as "situație recuperată" (recovered/salvaged situation).

Etymology and usage notes: recuperat derives from the Romanian verb recupera, which in turn comes from Latin recuperare, retaining the general sense of regaining or restoring something. The term is common in clinical writing, health reporting, and everyday speech when referring to recovery from illness, injury, or hardship.
