cedido

Cedido is the past participle of the Spanish verb ceder, meaning to yield, give up, transfer, or grant. As an adjective it describes something that has been transferred or assigned, and as a passive construction it indicates that rights, property, or use have been granted to another party. In legal and administrative language, cedido frequently appears in phrases such as bienes cedidos (transferred property), derechos cedidos (assigned rights) or uso cedido (leased use). The term implies a formal act of transfer rather than a casual loan.

The etymology traces to Latin cedo, cedo meaning “to yield,” and evolved into ceder in Spanish. The past participle cedido is widely used across varieties of Spanish, including Spain and Latin America.

In sports, especially football (soccer), ceder is used to describe loaning a player to another club; a jugador cedido is one temporarily registered with another team while still belonging to the original club. This use is common in transfer market reporting and contract language.

In data protection and business communications, información cedida or datos cedidos refers to information that has been supplied or disclosed to another party, often under consent or contract. The term should be distinguished from cesión, the act of transferring rights, which designates the legal operation, while cedido indicates the resulting state.

Cedido thus covers a range of contexts where a transfer or grant has occurred, from property and rights to personnel arrangements and information sharing.
