aceptada

Aceptada is the feminine singular past participle of the Spanish verb aceptar. It functions as an adjective or as part of a passive construction to indicate that something has been accepted or approved. For example, in the sentences “La oferta fue aceptada” or “La propuesta aceptada por la comisión,” the word describes the feminine noun as having received acceptance.

Etymology and origin: aceptada derives from Latin acceptāre, from acceptus, the past participle of accipere, meaning to take in, receive, or approve. Through the evolution of Spanish, acceptāre gave rise to the modern forms of aceptar and sus cognate participles, including aceptada.

Usage and agreement: aceptada agrees in gender and number with the noun it describes (aceptado for masculine singular, aceptadas for feminine plural, etc.). It is commonly used with auxiliary verbs such as ser, estar, or parecer to form passive or adjectival phrases, as in “La decisión está aceptada” or “Las condiciones aceptadas.” It can also function attributively, as in “una solución aceptada.”

Common contexts: the term appears frequently in legal, administrative, contractual, and academic contexts to denote formal approval. It is preferred over simplemente “aceptada” when the emphasis is on the result of an acceptance process, whereas “aceptación” serves as the corresponding noun form.

See also: aceptar, aceptación, aceptación de ofertas, aceptación formal. The feminine form aceptada contrasts with aceptado (masculine) and aceptadas/aceptados (plural) to reflect grammatical concord.
