anexos

Anexos is the plural form of anexo in Spanish and Portuguese. The term derives from Latin annexus, meaning joined or attached, and it is used in many domains to denote material or space that is connected to a main entity but not part of its primary body.

In documents and publishing: Anexo refers to material appended to a document that provides supplementary information, data, or documents. It is typically non-essential to the main text but useful for reference. In academic and professional contexts, anexos may include datasets, questionnaires, diagrams, tables, or copies of cited documents. In legal or formal documents, annexes often contain schedules, maps, or technical specifications. Distinctions between anexo and apéndice vary by language and jurisdiction; sometimes they are used interchangeably, but in other contexts an annex is considered external to the main body.

In architecture and urban planning: Anexo can denote a building or structure attached to or serving as a subsidiary part of a larger building or complex, such as an annex to a campus, a church, or a residence. In municipal planning, an annexed area refers to land or neighborhoods that are administratively joined to a town or city.

In digital communications: Anexo is used to refer to attachments added to emails or electronic records, including documents, images, or other files.

Toponymy and usage: The word is used as a place name in some Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking regions to designate outlying or subordinate areas, districts, or sections of a municipality or organization.
