adicionados

Adicionados is a Portuguese term formed as the plural past participle of the verb adicionar, meaning added or included. It is used as an adjective or in compound verb forms to indicate that something has been added to another thing, object, or system. The expression occurs widely in recipes, technical documents, and product specifications.

As an adjective, adicionados agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number: ingredientes adicionados (masculine plural), informações adicionadas (feminine plural). As a past participle with auxiliary verbs, it forms tenses such as foram adicionados or estão adicionados, signaling completed action of adding.

Common contexts include cooking, where it describes ingredients that have been incorporated; manufacturing and quality control, where it refers to additives or components introduced into a process; and data or software, where it can describe features or data fields that have been added, for example, novos recursos adicionados.

Etymology and related terms: the word derives from the verb adicionar, which originates from Latin addere, meaning to add. The prefix ad- signals addition, and the suffix -icionar helps form the verb. Related terms include adição (addition), adicionando (adding), and adicional (additional).
