attaccata

Attaccata is the feminine singular past participle of the Italian verb attaccare, meaning to attach or to affix. As an adjective, it denotes something that has been attached or affixed and agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. In Italian usage, attaccata describes an element that has been added to or joined to another object or document.

Usage and examples: Attaccata is commonly used to describe items that are connected to a larger item, such as documents, messages, or images. Examples include "l'immagine attaccata al messaggio" (the image attached to the message) or "la pagina attaccata al fascicolo" (the page attached to the file). In many contexts, the noun allegato is more typical for referring to an attachment, but attaccata focuses on the descriptive state of the element rather than naming the attachment itself.

Grammatical notes: Attaccata agrees with feminine singular nouns; the masculine singular form is attaccato, and plural forms are attaccate (feminine) and attaccati (masculine). Related forms include attaccante (attacker) and attacco (attack), which share the same root but belong to different grammatical categories.

See also: allegato, attaccare, attaccante, attacco. The term is widely understood in Italian-language contexts, particularly in formal writing and digital communication when describing elements that have been appended to a document or message.
