attivato

Attivato is the past participle of the Italian verb attivare, meaning to activate, enable, or start. Used as an adjective, it describes something that has been activated or made operative. In Italian, it appears in different auxiliary constructions: with essere in passive or intransitive sense (“Il servizio è attivato” or “Il sistema è stato attivato”), and with avere for transitive uses where the direct object is activated (“Abbiamo attivato la funzione,” though agreement may occur in gender and number when used in compound tenses: “La funzione è stata attivata”).

Etymology and form: attivato derives from attivare, which in turn comes from a root related to activity and action. The word is closely linked to the noun attivazione, meaning activation or enabling process, and to terms such as attivato/attivata in various contexts to denote that a feature, service, account, or device is currently active.

Usage contexts: In technology and software, attivato commonly describes features or services that have been turned on, such as “il servizio è attivato” or “l’account è attivato.” In hardware, it may refer to sensors or components that have been enabled (“il sensore è attivato”). In security and licensing, activation is a step that transitions a product from unactivated to operable, often requiring a key or verification.
