creados

Creados is the plural masculine form of the Spanish past participle creado, derived from the verb crear. It functions primarily as an adjective meaning produced, manufactured, or originated, and it can also be used as a noun phrase in certain contexts to refer to beings or objects that have been brought into existence. The feminine plural form is creadas, corresponding to feminine nouns.

In ordinary usage, cre a dos describes things that have been made or designed, as in objetos creados or productos creados. It appears in phrases that express a completed creation, often in passive constructions such as fueron creados or han sido creados. Like all participles in Spanish, its form agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: un objeto creado, varios objetos creados, una idea creada, ideas creadas.

Etymology and related terms: creado comes from the verb crear, which in turn derives from Latin creare, meaning to produce or bring into existence. Related words include creación (creation), creador (creator), and creativo (creative). The participle form is widely used in many Romance languages, though equivalents can differ in spelling and gender agreement.

Semantic scope: beyond concrete manufacture, creado often appears in philosophical, theological, or literary contexts to denote beings or entities made or brought into existence by a source such as a creator. In religious discourse, phrases like seres creados refer to beings created by a divine power, contrasted with the uncreado or the Creator. In contemporary usage, it can also describe human-made or synthetic entities in science fiction or discussions of technology.
