avaliada

Avaliada is the feminine singular form of the Portuguese past participle of the verb avaliar, meaning evaluated or assessed. As an adjective, avaliada describes a feminine noun that has undergone evaluation. The masculine form is avaliado, and the plural forms are avaliadas (feminine) and avaliados (masculine). In ordinary speech, it is common to encounter the passive voice with essa concordância, as in “a candidata foi avaliada” or “as propostas foram avaliadas.”

In usage, avaliada appears in contexts involving assessment, appraisal, or measurement. It is frequently found in education, human resources, quality control, research, and public administration, where individuals, projects, or items are subjected to review or testing. The term aligns with related words such as avaliador (evaluator), avaliadora (female evaluator), avaliação (evaluation), and avaliativo (evaluative). Variants reflect gender and number, but keep the core meaning tied to the act of estimating value, quality, or suitability.

Etymology traces avaliada to avaliar, which denotes the act of judging or estimating value. This verb and its derivatives are linked to the concept of valor (value) in Portuguese, underscoring the idea of determining worth or importance. While avaliada is common in formal and informal Portuguese, users should adjust agreement to the gender and number of the noun being described or referenced.
