geridas

Geridas is the feminine plural form of the Portuguese past participle gerido, used as an adjective or as part of passive constructions to describe feminine plural nouns that have been managed or administered. The base verb is gerir, meaning to manage, administer, or run. Gerido derives from Latin gerere, with cognates in other Romance languages. In practice, geridas agrees in gender and number with the nouns it modifies, as in examples such as “empresas geridas com eficiência” (efficiently managed companies) or “propriedades geridas pela fundação” (properties managed by the foundation).

In addition to its grammatical role, geridas can appear in bureaucratic or descriptive prose to convey that actions or properties have been administered. As a standalone noun or proper name, geridas is not widely documented in major reference works. It may, in principle, occur as a surname or toponym in Lusophone contexts, but such uses are scarce and not standardized.

When capitalized as Geridas, it could be encountered in fictional works or local names, but there is no well-established place, organization, or title by this spelling in standard references. The term remains primarily a grammatical form in contemporary Portuguese rather than a distinct concept with a centralized, widely recognized meaning.
