Reparada

Reparada is the feminine form of the past participle of the verb reparar in Spanish and Portuguese, used as an adjective meaning "repaired" or "fixed." It agrees with feminine nouns, as in la puerta reparada or las ventanas reparadas. The masculine form is reparado. In both languages the participle can describe the result of a repair or a completed repair, and it is commonly used to indicate the state of an item after maintenance.

Etymology: Reparar comes from Latin reparare, formed by re- (again) and parare (to prepare, furnish); reparada thus reflects a sense of having been prepared again, historically extending to the idea of repair.

Usage notes: Reparada appears most often with tangible objects such as puertas, ventanas, vehículos, or maquinaria. As a noun, the word is uncommon; the standard Spanish or Portuguese noun for the action is reparación or reparação. In toponymy or surnames, reparada may occur as part of compound names in Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking regions, though such uses are relatively rare and highly context-dependent.
