agregadas

Agregadas is the feminine plural form of the adjective agregado or of the participle agregada, used in Portuguese and Spanish to refer to elements that have been added, joined, or grouped. Its exact meaning varies by domain, but it generally designates items that result from an aggregation process or that are considered together for analysis or use.

In construction, civil engineering, and geology, the related term agregados (masculine) is widely used to denote inert granular materials such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone that are used as concrete components. The feminine form agregadas can appear in phrases where the noun it modifies is feminine, for example as "agregadas finas" (fine aggregates). In everyday or technical writing, however, the standard reference to the material is usually in the masculine form.

In data, statistics, and social sciences, agregadas is used to describe data or groups that have been combined or summarized. Phrases like medidas agregadas (aggregated measures) or unidades agregadas (aggregated units) reflect the practice of pooling information from multiple sources or cases to form a higher-level view. The concept of aggregation underpins many methods, from data reporting to ecological and demographical analyses.

Overall, agregadas denotes a state of being grouped or combined, with its precise interpretation determined by the noun it accompanies and the field of study. It is part of the broader idea of aggregation, aggregation processes, and the resulting aggregated elements.
