desviadas

Desviadas is the feminine plural adjective in Spanish and Portuguese, derived from desviado/desviada, meaning deviated, off course, or diverged. It can describe people, objects, or ideas that depart from an expected norm, standard, or path. In sociolinguistics and gender studies, the term has been used to denote women who challenge conventional gender roles or norms. In mathematics, physics, and navigation, it can describe the difference between a quantity and its reference trajectory or direction.

The term is also used as a proper noun in media and culture, serving as a title or name for various works, groups, or organizations in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking contexts. Because it is not a fixed proper noun, its exact meaning depends on context.
