evitada

Evadida is a feminine form used in Spanish and Portuguese to indicate that something has been avoided or prevented. It is the feminine singular past participle of the verb evitar (to avoid) in both languages, and it functions as an adjective or as part of compound tenses with auxiliary verbs. As an adjective, evadida agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, conveying the idea that the referenced thing was successfully prevented or escaped.

In Portuguese, evadida appears in passive constructions or as a feminine descriptive term. Examples include “A colisão foi evitada” (The collision was avoided) and “Uma repetição do erro foi evitada” (A repetition of the error was avoided). In Spanish, the feminine participle evadida is used similarly, as in “La catástrofe fue evitada” (The catastrophe was avoided) or “Una situación evitada” (an avoided/safe situation), where the subject is feminine.

Etymology and related forms: evadida derives from Latin evitatus, the past participle of evitare, meaning to avoid or to shun. Related forms include evitar (to avoid), evitación/evitación (avoidance in Spanish), and evitação/evitação (avoidance in Portuguese). The root conveys a sense of prevention, escape, or preemption rather than mere potentiality.

Notes: While evadida primarily functions as a participle adjective, its exact usage can vary with regional grammar. It is distinct from evitable (avoidable) in that evadida denotes that avoidance has already occurred, whereas evitable describes something that can be avoided. See also evitar, evitación, evitação.
