Forms and grammar: masculine singular afegit; feminine singular afegida; masculine plural afegits; feminine plural afegides. When used with haver, the participle generally agrees with a preceding direct object in some constructions, though it is often left in masculine singular form in neutral contexts.

Usage: Afegit is widely used in editing, documentation, and data contexts to indicate items that have been incorporated. Examples include adding a note to a text, including data in a file, or appended sections in a report. In perfect tenses, phrases such as ha afegit or havien afegit are common.

Etymology: Afegit derives from the Catalan verb afegir, itself from Latin affigere, through Old Catalan development. The root fig- or fic- in related Romance languages reflects the idea of attaching or fixing something in place.
