amparados

Amparados is the plural form of amparado, a word used in Spanish and Portuguese as both an adjective and a noun. It denotes individuals, groups, or things that are protected, sheltered, or supported by another person, an institution, or a system such as a legal framework or social protection programs. The term emphasizes the idea of being under protection or receiving backing.

In linguistic use, amparado describes someone who has received protection or assistance, whether because of law, policy, family ties, or institutional support. The expression can appear in phrases such as amparados por la ley (protected by the law) or amparados por el estado (protected by the state), highlighting the source of protection.

In legal contexts, amparo is a common term in several Latin American countries and in Spain referring to a protective remedy or constitutional safeguard. While the exact procedural meaning varies by country, amparados generally refers to those who benefit from such protective measures or protections.

In Portuguese, amparados is widely used to describe beneficiaries of social protection programs or individuals safeguarded by public policy or legal provisions. Common constructions include amparados pela lei or amparados pelo governo, illustrating protection or support from governmental or legal sources.

The feminine forms are amparada and amparadas, and both languages also use amparado in the singular to describe a single protected person. The term is common in policy documents, law, journalism, and everyday language when referring to those who receive protection or support.
