expresada

Expresada is the feminine singular past participle of the verb expresar in Spanish, used as an adjective meaning “expressed” or “stated.” The masculine form is expresado and the plural forms are expresados (masc.) and expresadas (fem.). In usage, expresada can appear in passive constructions or as a modifier, as in “la idea expresada en el informe” or “las palabras expresadas por el portavoz.”

In style and nuance, expresada indicates that content has been communicated or articulated clearly, as opposed to being implicit or unsaid. It is closely related to the noun expresión (expression) and to related adjectives such as expresivo, though with the distinct sense of the content that has been conveyed rather than merely the act of conveying.

Etymology and cognates: expresada derives from expresar, which comes from the Latin expressus “pressed out” or “drawn out,” via the evolution of Spanish to form adjectives that mark something that has been expressed. The term shares cognates with other Romance languages; for example, Portuguese uses expressada with a double 's' in the same sense.

Common contexts: academic writing, journalism, legal or formal prose, and literary analysis, where one refers to ideas, statements, or words that have been clearly communicated: “las ideas expresadas,” “las palabras expresadas por el autor.”

Notes: while expresada is primarily a grammatical form, it can appear in titles, phrases, or brand names in Spanish-speaking contexts. It is not a fixed technical term with a standardized meaning beyond its ordinary grammatical use.
