atribuido

Atribuido is a term functioning as the past participle of the verb atribuir in Spanish and Portuguese, used as an adjective meaning credited, assigned, or attributed to someone or something. In Portuguese, the usual form is "atribuído" (masculine) and "atribuída" (feminine); in Spanish, "atribuido" (masculine) and "atribuida" (feminine). It derives from the Latin attribuere.

It is used in two main ways: as part of the passive voice in compound tenses (e.g., "el informe fue atribuido a..." / "o relatório foi atribuído a..."), and as an adjective modifying a noun to indicate authorship or origin (e.g., "la autoría atribuida" / "a autoria atribuída"). The noun corresponding in Spanish is atribución, and in Portuguese, atribuição.

In literature, science, and law, "atribuido" appears in phrases indicating credit or responsibility for a work, finding, or decision. Its use can reflect attribution claims, as when a finding is attributed to a particular researcher or when a work's authorship is disputed or clarified.

Notes: The term carries a neutral to slightly evaluative tone, depending on context. Its opposite forms include "no atribuido" (not attributed) or terms conveying lack of attribution in different contexts. The word is common in editorial, bibliographic, and scholarly writing.
