enriquecida

Enriquecida is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the verb enriquecer in Spanish and Portuguese, used as an adjective meaning enriched or enhanced. The corresponding masculine form is enriquecido. It agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, as in una información enriquecida or una dieta enriquecida in Spanish, and uma solução enriquecida or uma dieta enriquecida in Portuguese.

Etymology and usage notes: Enriquecer comes from the idea of increasing wealth or value, combining the prefix en- with riqueza, the latter related to wealth. As a participle, enriquecida marks that the noun has been supplemented with desirable elements, improvements, or added substances. The term is common across domains such as nutrition, data, education, and media.

Contexts and examples: In nutrition and food industries, entidades may market products as "alimento enriquecido" (Spanish) or "alimento enriquecido" (Portuguese) to indicate fortification with vitamins or minerals. In data and media, phrases like "información enriquecida" (Spanish) or "conteúdo enriquecido" (Portuguese) describe content enhanced with additional details or context. In scientific and industrial contexts, "solución enriquecida" or "produto enriquecido" refer to substances or mixtures prepared to contain higher levels of specific components. The term is versatile and can describe both tangible goods and abstract content that has been improved or expanded.
