distribuita

Distribuita is the feminine singular past participle of the Italian verb distribuire (to distribute). In Italian, it functions as both a passive participle and an adjective, indicating that something has been distributed or allocated, or describing a distribution pattern that applies to a feminine singular noun.

In grammar, distribuita forms compound tenses with essere: La merce è stata distribuita. It can also modify nouns directly: una popolazione distribuita uniformemente. The masculine singular form is distribuito, the feminine plural is distribuite, and the masculine plural is distribuiti. It should not be confused with the noun distribuzione (distribution) or the related adjective distributiva (distributive).

In specialized domains, distribuita appears in phrases such as architettura distribuita (distributed architecture) or variabile casuale distribuita secondo una determinata distribuzione (random variable distributed according to a particular distribution). In economics, statistics, geography or computer science, the term helps express that resources, data, or populations are spread or allocated according to a pattern.

Etymology and related forms: distribuita derives from Latin distribuere, meaning “to distribute.” The form reflects gender and number agreement with the noun it modifies. Related terms include distribuzione (distribution) and distributiva (distributive), which expand on different grammatical or conceptual facets of the same idea.
