deducida

Deducida is the feminine singular past participle of the Spanish verb deducir. It functions as an adjective or in passive constructions, and denotes that something has been inferred, derived, or concluded on the basis of evidence, reasoning, or data. It is used to describe conclusions, hypotheses, results, or relationships that come from a deductive process. The masculine form is deducido and the feminine form is deducida; both share the same root.

Etymology: deducida comes from the verb deducir, derived from Latin deducere. The suffix -ida marks it as a feminine participial form used as an adjective in modern Spanish.

Usage: common in academic, scientific, mathematical, legal, and analytic writing. It typically accompanies a noun or follows a linking verb and agrees in gender and number with the noun: "una conclusión deducida de los datos," "los resultados deducidos." It can appear in passive voice: "la hipótesis fue deducida" or "la información ha sido deducida." In practice, deducida is often used to describe conclusions, hypotheses, or relations that result from deductive reasoning.

Examples: "La conclusión deducida de los experimentos es consistente con la teoría." "La hipótesis fue deducida a partir de varias observaciones."
