Reparado

Reparado is a Spanish term that functions as the past participle of the verb reparar, meaning repaired or fixed. As an adjective, reparado describes something that has undergone repair and now is in a repaired state. Examples include phrases like un coche reparado or una puerta reparada, and it can also appear in passive voice constructions such as la puerta fue reparada.

In verb phrases, reparado appears as the participle in perfect tenses formed with haber, for instance ha reparado or había reparado, indicating that the action of repairing has been completed by a subject. It can also serve as an adjective to describe the result of repair, as in un motor reparado or componentes reparados.

Etymology traces reparado to the Latin reparatus, the past participle of reparare, composed of re- (again) and parare (to prepare or arrange). The sense evolved in Spanish to include the notion of fixing or restoring something to good condition.

Other uses: reparado may occur in proper nouns in some Spanish-speaking regions, including as part of surnames or place names, though such usage varies by locale and is not universal.
