approssimata

Approssimata is the feminine form of the Italian adjective approssimato, used to describe something that is not exact but close to a value, estimate, or description. The term derives from the verb approssimare, meaning to bring nearer or approximate. In mathematics, science and everyday language, approssimata qualifies numbers, results, or methods that are intended to be near the precise value. For example, a value stated as “appresso a due decimali” indicates rounding to two decimal places.

The related noun approssimazione denotes the act or result of approximating. In mathematical and numerical contexts, an approssimata value may arise from rounding, estimation, or the use of simplified models. A “soluzione approssimata” is a solution obtained via numerical methods that is not exact but within a specified tolerance. In statistics and data analysis, one may refer to an “approssimata distribuzione” or a “modello approssimato” when a theoretical distribution or model is simplified to facilitate calculation or interpretation. In computing, algoritmi approssimati describe techniques that trade accuracy for speed or reduced resource usage.

Usage notes: approssimata agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. It contrasts with esatta (exact) and with approssimativa in some contexts, though both feminine forms are common with feminine nouns. Common collocations include valore approssimato, dati approssimati, soluzione approssimata, metodo approssimato, errore di approssimazione.
