adornada

Adornada is a feminine adjective and past participle form in Spanish derived from adornar, meaning decorated or embellished. It is used to describe things that have been ornamented, such as una habitación adornada or una fachada adornada.

As a past participle, adornar conjugates as adornado (masculine) and adornada (feminine) to agree with the noun. The verb itself comes from Latin adornare, which means to equip or decorate.

In literature and everyday language, adornada frequently connotes care, elaboration, or ceremonial refinement, and can carry both neutral and positive connotations depending on context. The term can also appear in non-descriptive phrases, for example in art or architectural descriptions: un arco adornado con esculturas or un salón adornado con espejos.

It is not a proper noun by itself but may appear as part of a title or place name in certain contexts, if used as a geographic epithet or surname, though that usage is uncommon.

Related terms include adornar (to adorn), adorno (decoration), and adornamiento (adornment or decoration).
