Repassada

Repassada is the feminine form of the past participle of the Portuguese verb repassar, and in general usage functions as an adjective or a noun depending on context. It denotes something that has been passed through again, relayed, or transferred in a subsequent step. Because repassar covers both physical movement and information or resources, repassada appears in a variety of contexts, though it is less common as a stand-alone term in modern Portuguese.

In finance and administration, repassar means to transfer funds or resources from one entity to another. Repassada can describe funds or data that have already been transferred or relayed, for example in phrases like valor repassado (amount transferred) or informação repassada (information forwarded). In project management and logistics, the term can similarly indicate items or instructions that have been relayed to a downstream party.

Etymology and form: the word is built from the prefix re- (again, back) plus passar (to pass). The feminine form repassada agrees with feminine nouns, while masculine forms would be repassado or repassados in plural. The related noun repasse is the more common term for the act or result of transferring.

Limitations: repassada is not widely used as a distinct technical label. In many cases, speakers prefer repasse or repassado, or rely on other phrasing to indicate a completed transfer, relay, or passage of information. See also repassar, repasse, repassado.
