Repassados

Repassados is the plural form of repassado, the past participle of the Portuguese verb repassar. The verb repassar has several related senses, including to pass over again or review, to forward or remit something to another person or entity, and to reallocate or redistribute costs, funds, or responsibilities. As an adjective, repassados describes items or actions that have undergone one of these processes.

In practical use, repassados is common in finance, administration, and business language. For example, pagamentos repassados refers to payments that have been forwarded to a third party, while custos repassados denotes costs that are passed on to customers or downstream actors. Similarly, responsabilidades repassadas can refer to duties transferred from one organizational unit or government level to another. The phrase can also describe information or instructions that have been conveyed or relayed to others.

The form agrees with the noun it modifies, with repassados for masculine or mixed-gender plural nouns and repassadas for feminine plural nouns (repassado, repassada, repassados, repassadas). The term is understood in both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese, though collocations and frequency vary by region. Repassados does not designate a single fixed concept; its meaning depends on context, specifying what has been forwarded, reviewed, or redistributed.
