corrected

Corrected is the past participle of the verb correct. It functions as both a verb form and an adjective to indicate that errors have been identified and fixed, or that something has been adjusted to improve accuracy. In everyday use, corrected describes documents, data, measurements, or versions that have undergone revision to correct problems.

As a verb, corrected appears in phrases like "The editor corrected the manuscript" or "The error was corrected." As an adjective, it is used in contexts such as "a corrected version of the report" or "inflation-corrected figures." In data analysis, "corrected" often means adjustments were made to remove bias or measurement error; in economics, "inflation-corrected" or "real" values reflect changes for price level.

In science and surveying, corrected coordinates or corrected times reflect calibration against reference frames or standards. In medicine, "corrected visual acuity" indicates vision measured with corrective lenses; "corrected age" may be used in pediatrics when adjusting for prematurity. The opposite form, "uncorrected," is used for data or measurements that have not been adjusted.

Originating from the Latin corrigere, corrected shares the root with other terms such as correct and correction. It remains a common term across disciplines whenever errors are identified and subsequently fixed.
