Tituladas

Tituladas is the feminine plural form of the participle derived from título, used in Spanish in a couple of related ways. It can function as an adjective meaning “having a title” or “bearing a degree,” and it can also be used as a noun to refer to women who hold a professional title or academic degree. In publishing or bibliographic contexts, tituladas can describe works that carry a specific title, as in a book or article that is “titulado.”

Etymology and form: the word comes from título (title) and the suffix -ado, forming titulada for the feminine singular and tituladas for the feminine plural. The masculine counterparts are titulado (adjective or noun) and titulados (plural). The related noun titulación refers to the act or process of obtaining a title or degree.

Contexts and usage: in education and professional discussions, tituladas commonly refers to women who have completed a degree or earned a professional title, e.g., “las tituladas en medicina” or “un grupo de tituladas.” in literature and media, the term appears in phrases such as “una obra titulada” to indicate the title of a work. The term is distinct from título (the title itself) and from titulaciones (the set of degrees or certifications a person possesses).
