deliberada

Deliberada is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the verb deliberar in Spanish and Portuguese. It functions as an adjective meaning intentional or planned, as opposed to accidental. It can describe actions, decisions, or motives that result from careful consideration. The masculine form is deliberado, and the plural forms are deliberados (masculine) and deliberadas (feminine).

Etymology: Deliberada derives from Latin deliberatus, from deliberare, meaning to weigh carefully or consider. The sense of weighing options or weighing consequences underpins the modern use in both languages.

Usage: The term is common in formal, academic, and legal contexts to indicate premeditation or intentionality. For example, una acción deliberada (a deliberate action) or uma decisão deliberada (a deliberate decision). In everyday language, it conveys that something was planned rather than happens by chance. The corresponding adverb is deliberadamente, meaning deliberately or intentionally.
