deseadas

Deseadas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective deseado, meaning "wanted" or "desired." It is used to describe feminine plural nouns, such as metas (goals), condiciones (conditions), or objetos (objects), that are sought after or valued. For example, las metas deseadas refers to the goals that are desired, and las condiciones deseadas describes the conditions that are sought.

Etymology and related terms: The adjective derives from Latin desideratus, the past participle of desiderare, through the Spanish deseado. The related noun deseo means "desire" or "wish." In other Romance languages, cognates appear as desejadas in Portuguese or désirées in French, illustrating a common Latin root for desire and longing.

Usage considerations: Deseadas typically appears in formal or written contexts, policy language, and journalistic writing when enumerating preferred outcomes or sought-after attributes. It can be contrasted with synonyms such as anheladas (longed-for), esperadas (expected), or requeridas (required), depending on nuance. Like all adjectives, deseadas agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

Examples:

- Las metas deseadas por la organización incluyen expansión internacional.

- Las condiciones deseadas para el acuerdo no se han cumplido.
