emitida

Emitida is the feminine singular past participle form of the verb emitir in Spanish and Portuguese, functioning as an adjective meaning “issued,” “emitted,” or “broadcast.” It is commonly used in administrative, legal, and financial contexts to describe documents, certificates, or transmissions that have been issued or transmitted.

In Spanish, emitida agrees with feminine nouns. Common uses include phrases like factura emitida (issued invoice), licencia emitida (issued license), or certificado emitido (issued certificate). The participle can appear in passive constructions such as la factura ha sido emitida, indicating that the document has been issued.

In Portuguese, emitida also agrees with feminine nouns. Examples include nota fiscal emitida (issued tax receipt) or autorização emitida (issued authorization). When referring to masculine nouns, the form emits as emitido. The term is widely used in bureaucratic and financial language in Portugal and Brazil, among other Portuguese-speaking contexts.

Etymology traces emitida to emitir, from Latin emittere, meaning to send forth or emit. Over time, the participle developed into a standalone adjective used to describe the status of an item as having been issued, transmitted, or broadcast.
