fornecida

Fornecida is the feminine form of the past participle of the Portuguese verb fornecer, meaning to supply or provide. In general use, fornecida functions as an adjective or in passive constructions to indicate that something has been supplied or provided. The masculine form is fornecido, and both forms inflect to agree with the gender and number of the noun they modify (for example: água fornecida, informações fornecidas, materiais fornecidos).

Etymology and usage context: The word derives from the verb fornecer, which expresses the act of provisioning or furnishing. The past participle fornecido/fornecida is commonly used in official, administrative, legal, and technical language to specify the provenance or status of goods, information, or services that have been supplied.

Common constructions: The female form appears in phrases such as 'informação fornecida' (the information provided), 'lista fornecida' (the provided list), and 'entregas fornecidas' (the deliveries provided). In plural form, it becomes fornecidas to agree with feminine plural nouns. The masculine plural form is fornecidos for masculine nouns.

Geographic or proper-name note: There is no widely recognized geographic or institutional place name widely used as a capitalized 'Fornecida.' When capitalized, it would typically be treated as a proper name or title only if used in a specific local context, otherwise it remains a common adjective.
