exigido

Exigido is the past participle of exigir in Portuguese and Spanish, and it also functions as an adjective meaning "required" or "demanded." In both languages, the term is commonly used in legal, administrative, and formal contexts to indicate that a subject, condition, or document is mandatory or specified by rules, regulations, or authorities.

Originating from Latin exigere, with ex- meaning "out" or "thoroughly" and -igere from agere meaning "to drive" or "to do," the form entered Portuguese as exigir and Spanish as exigir. The past participle is exigido in both languages, with gendered and number variations (exigido/exigida, exigidos/exigidas).

In Portuguese, exigido commonly appears as an adjective: “os requisitos exigidos pela lei” (the requirements mandated by the law) or “condições exigidas para a inscrição.” It also participates in passive and perfect tenses, as in “foi exigido pelo regulamento” or “tenho os documentos exigidos.”

In Spanish, exigido serves similarly as an adjective: “los requisitos exigidos por la normativa” or “documentación exigida.” It also appears as the past participle in compound tenses: “fue exigido por el comité” or the impersonal “se exigió” to express demand or requirement.

Related terms include requerido, necesario, and obligación. The word is often interchangeable with “requerido” in many contexts, though exigido carries a stronger connotation of formal demand or mandate.
